    Hi,

    We have used a lady Cheryl who deals with the registration of all vehicles as they arrive in the country and she would probably be able to give you a good shipping company to deal with who ship to Cape Town. Give her a try, she is very good. All her details can be found on the her website: http://www.sandmann.co.za :deal

    Good luck. also if you want any help with routes we can offer some assistance too.

    :rofl

    We have a ready made 2 week one which takes in the Garden Route along the coast heading eastwards for about 750km then comes back through the Karoo and over to the west coast which we could extend a little on either side if you like..

    Would you want to book and or find your own accommodation, or do you want an easy start where we book it for you and you just arrive? :rofl

    Here is the route; http://www.africa4adventure.com/tou...category/77-cape-mountain-a-garden-tour-route

    Private message me and we can talk futher if you like. Or go to our website and leave an enquiry here which I can pick up your email from: http://www.africa4adventure.com/reserve-menu-item/enquiry-form

    :freaky
    kind regards
