Route to fly from South-Africa

[Vlakvark]

What route will you fly from South-Africa to Canada with fuel stops in a single engine?

St.Maartin was not enough. LOL (can’t get the smileys to work)

You should post your expected range.

Here’s a story of a flight from the US to  Botswana in a Cessna 150.

I’ll do it.

I'd do it in a hot second.

Wasn't there a German couple who flew their 231 from Brazil across the Atlantic last year? I believe they have made several crossings and have spent a lot of time flying up and down the Americas.

I know someone has a better memory than I do. Maybe it was @flumag?

Well that sounds like fun!

Paris-Dakar in a Mooney then Goose Bay.

Via north pole or south pole?

Via North Pole all down to Canaries/Dakar should be handling and permit free with load of avgas around, it gets complicated after but if you can make Gabon/Congo(PointeNoire) then Botswana/SouthAfrica you are done

Via south pole: you can do via USA, Mexico, Chile, SA but I have no clue about those logistics, I think @terbang may know more about Latin America, also North Pole, Africa or anything for that matter

How’s the available avgas at airports along the African coast?

This is totally doable. I inspected a guy who flew a Piper Saratoga from Oz to California the long way. Wow did he have some stories to tell. I can’t even imagine how fun a trip to Africa would be. If probably brush up on your French skills. It would be one hell of a way to build time.

Brian Lloyd flew a 231 around the world following Emilia Earhart's route, just a couple of summers ago. His Atlantic crossing was Natal Brazil to Dakar Senegal.

Look up  "Honey Mooney"              https://honeymooney.com/

He's gone around all different ways  in an E model     He stopped by here a few years ago after crossing from Africa to Brazil IIRC
