The roads are paved all the way and there is enough traffic on the road. Hitchhike all the way from far North (North Cape or Kinnarodden) down to the South (Cape of Good Hope or Cape Agulhas)!
== Ferry Sea Crossing ==
Interesting are the board and ferry parts from [[Iran]] to [[UAE]] and from [[Yemen]] to [[Djibouti]].
== Seasons ==
Figuring out the right time to go might be hard. In [[Europe]] Winter might be harder to hitchhike and in [[Africa]] the rain season.
Personal experiences from [[User:Alex|alex]] for the part till to Yemen: Winter and the cold haven't been a problem for me, but rain was (especially coming from a region where I haven't had rain for months). Even though it was fine to travel during (European) winter, I think it is more fun to travel when it is not to cold and days are longer as this gives you more time on the road and also flexibility as you can just end up somewhere (and/or pitch your tent). This was only possible for me on the Arabian Peninsula, however, it might be too hot there during summer time.
== Time ==
It should easily be possible to cover the distance from the North Cape to Yemen in about 21 days. Additional time has to be added when the sea crossings are hitched as well. From [[Djibouti]] it should be possible to cross [[Ethiopia]] in five, [[Kenia]] in three, [[Tansania]] in two to three, [[Mozambique]] in around five and [[South Africa]] in two... voila... in not even 60 days from the North to the South. However, it is recommendable to spent more time along the way...
