Flying GA through Africa - what countries?

Post by michael.g.miller »

I'm planning my round the world trip (in my DA42) in a few months. I have my route roughly set:

Puerto Rico
US mainland
Canada
Greenland
Iceland
Europe
????
South Africa
Seychelles
Maldives
?????
Australia
New Zealand
????
Taiwan
Japan
Alaska (Adak)
US Mainland
Back home

There are a few unknowns, but the biggest ones that are worrying me are the legs to get from Europe to Southern Africa. Probably a long shot, but does anyone have rough guidance on the most GA friendly / safest countries to transit in Africa?
