A friend of mine - Sjoerd-Jan ter Welle, founder and owner of AeroPlus Aviation Software - is about to embark on an adventure that involves flying:
http://acrossafricachallenge.com/He'll attend a bussiness meeting in South Africa, mid februari, and decided to fly there in his own plane together with a friend of his, to challenge both themselves and the software. He'll fly south along the west coast, and back north along the east coast of the continent.
You can follow his progress through the link above (Tip: check out the "highlights" section)
