All African countries have a public transport system that is generally run privatley in form of taxis, busses and in some instances trains. However one needs to bring a large portion of time and lots of patients with if one only uses the public or local transport. At times it can be packed with a lot more passengers then the capacity allows, break downs and accidents are regular.
Effectivley one could travel from Cape Town to Cairo by using public transport, but it will take a lot of time and nerves.
