Sooo... Thinking about buying a car...

For my travels through Africa after my civil service I am thinking about buying a car.

  • Pros

  • No problem with luggage

  • Freedom: stop wherever, maybe sleep in the car if push comes to shove…

  • Mobility, already now for weekend trips. If you have to use public transport you just have to calculate so much more time.

  • Cons

  • Maybe less interaction with locals during my trip than if I would use public transportation and hitch-hiking

  • Less intense experience. If you don't have a car you can also take a boat on a river for some part, or a cargo train.

  • Car breaks down… I have no knowledge what-so-ever…

  • Risk of car theft. A tip I read in a travel blog a couple weeks ago said to park it next to a bank and slip the guard a couple of dollars to sit next to it all night…

What else? Am I forgetting something? What are your thoughts? Please comment…
