My friend mentioned touring west Africa by road and I was sold, so I packed my bags some 2 weeks after he left and got on the road with another friend. We had to google everything we needed to know about border procedures and all that but we could hardly find details
about all of that. There’s a lot of French going on and we speak only English so communicating our questions to the new people was going to be a Herculean task so this is a thread about how the journey has been so far. The cost breakdown and other tips will be on my blog soon
