Caravanistan

Did anything ever come of this? I will be planning Southern/Eastern Africa for 2020, September-ish for 4 + months, just getting started.

Am currently in Nur Sultan. Have only made 1 withdrawal of 50,000 tenge, but 200,000 was a choice on Forte Bank ATM at Best Western Astana Hotel.

Milad,
There are more options than that even if near 60...
But I appreciate all the other information!:)

An agent who can get the correct ticket, in the correct format (paper, e-ticket, etc) READ the thing, stand behind it, and deliver it to me is worth plenty of gold to me. If I am not trying to keep a schedule, and if I have no timeframe, and if I read/speak some Russian, and if I am on a tight budge...

How did this work for you? Did you have to spend big money for a fully refundable ticket to cancel after you got the visa?

skiplagged.com and priceline give you 24 hours. I think it can vary by the country you are in.

Yes, I did see the link, that is where I got interested in apartment rental. Ah well, we appreciate your help again and again.

Still filling in a detailed itinerary and I would appreciate help with: 1. Oct 1 is Teacher's Day in UZ. What effect will that have on mausoleums and sites? What businesses might be closed? 2. More specifically, this could be the day we are being driven from Samarkand, through Shahrasibz, to Termez....

Great idea! thank you!

Tashkent, perhaps? Since it is labeled as only good for 42 days without refrigeration, and it will likely get warm at some point, could any one point to a possible source to restock? Will be going Astana-Almaty-the usual Uzbek sites and cities, and Turkmenistan for sure, starting in August. I'm gues...
