I don't know how much you want to rely on Wikipedia, but according to
this article you don't need one for any of the countries you mentioned.
Enjoy your adventure!

thanks travelingdiva, i also heard it is no needed car... de pass...., just need to pay entering tax, something as insorance, not cheep, but stil cheeper than carnet de passage. i will continue my research. wikipedia is also not bad, i do trust, but information at often about things i do not precisly ask. best would be to know from somebody who went africa with his europian vheicle. i need to colect informationes before i start my trip, info from a first hand... thank you for your help and concern. hug n kisss, Svetlana
