BASICS:
Getting around
If you set for moving around larger parts of the Sudan, you'll soon experience much frustration, and you'll see time schedules crushed in a queue or a crowd somewhere. Transportation is best done with buses, boksi, and lorries. Boksi is some kind of shared taxi, but mini buses are used instead of the normal cars so dominant elsewhere in North Africa. Trains are now only covering parts of the Sudan, and air flights are so few and so popular that booking a seat will seem like trying to get a ticket to a popular rock concert. If you adjust your impatience, travelling is rewarding, people are friendly, and your budget will not crack.
