Europe - Cameroun (2 way) Libya-Niger border only southways?
 

Hi all,

We are considering a return trip from Europe to Northern Cameroun (Maroua, near N´Djamena) by 4x4.

We would like to know if this is viable, we have about 1.5 month to spare and want to spend at least 2 weeks in Cameroun with family.

The route which looks most viable/fastest is Tunisia - Libya - Niger - Chad - Cameroun. The problem I see here is that the Libiya-Niger border seems to be open south-bound only - is this true?

So: what would be a good route for us? Is it indeed the one I mentioned?
and: is the Libya-Niger border only open in the southern direction ?

Any other comments are welcome as well!

Cheers!

Martin

Yes - so come back via Algeria:Agadez to Tam, or Chirfa to Djanet if you are feeling adventurous. (Guide need in Alg of course, and probably in Tenere).

Thanks Chris,

We changed our plans a bit and are currently thinking about

tunisia - algeria - niger - nigeria - cameroun using route du hoggar

Also we plan to use 20 days to travel the whole distance.
Expect some more questions in the time to come :thumbup1:

Martin
