Back in 1989, as the Berlin Wall fell, Gunther Holtorf and his wife Christine set out on what was meant to be an 18-month tour of Africa in their Mercedes Benz G Wagon. Now, with more than 800,000km (500,000 miles) on the clock, Gunther is still going.
With more than 800,000km on the odo,Gunther Holtorf is still going.
Even though some of my picks may appear to be "un-shoestring like," the main concern here is that you "shoestring" the trip and not the preparation for the trip. Anyone who has tried to skimp in the beginning will probably end up paying much more later on... Remember YOU are all you have out there.
