Les Small - Newbie

Post by smalles »

Hi All
Live in New Zealand and plan a trip to Southern Africa mid 2016. Did a 6 month trip in 2014, SA- Moz - Zim- Bots- Namibia and back to SA. Vehicle was a Landcruiser Troopy. I intend to purchase a Hilux for the next trip because I feel that the right Hilux would do just about everything that the Landcruiser can do. We would be grateful for any tips on vehicles, trips and general info. We plan to get up to Tanzania on this trip.

Regards

Les Small

Welcome aboard Les!! :thumbup:

A Hilux is more than up to the task and there are a few beauts available on this forum quite regularly - just keep an eye on the vehicles for sale section. :winkx:
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
