Hi Tomás, I rode from the U.K. to Cape Town in 2014/15, I was in east Africa from Kenya, then followed much of what turned out to be some of the tour d’afrique route. I had a blog which is still online, www.longbikeride.co.uk Are you wild camping? It’s what I did 90% of the time. Tanzania, local hotels are dead cheap, I wouldn’t even attempt to camp unless caught out, the prices include breakfast for about £5. I’d recommend riding around Kilimanjaro if you have the time. Malawi, nightmare for camping until south of Mzuzu, lots of people. The lakes beautiful, Livingston is worth a visit and a stop at the mushroom Farm hostel. View is spectacular. I crossed into Zambia at chipata. No need to go via Lilongwe in Malawi, I took a shortcut on better road with plenty of wild camping spots. Just north of Chipata, there’s a good lodge, and north of there a camping game reserve where you can see tons of wildlife including leopards. I woke up with a hippo next to the tent, monkeys everywhere and elephants walking by throughout the day. Schools are good places to stop. Ask for the headmaster and offer to show the kids your bike and tells them about your trip. Livingstone in Zambia is worth a stop, depending on time of year you can walk across Victoria falls. Google devils pool, there’s a free one. Easy enough to find if you look at my photos. I crossed onto Botswana on the kazangula Ferry, the elephant highway has nowhere to stop to talk of. It’s a very long day to get through in one. Tons of wildlife again. If you have time, get to Cape Town via the garden route, dolphins, Wales and unbelievable scenery. Use warm showers website. Be open to people, they are very friendly, the less people have the more friendly they were (the exception tonthatbis South Africans, where EVERYONE is very friendly). You get a vibe for bad people. I only met a handful the whole trip. Have a blast!
