100LL is widely available in Europe and the USA but in most of Africa it is virtually unobtainable, making GA impossible without having 200 litre drums trucked in to any airfield that you plan to visit in advance and at great expense.
Diesel engines for light aircraft are the only way forward in these areas and they are becoming increasingly popular.
