How long should we allow ? Tangier to Accra (Ghana)
How long is a piece of string?
Having read through “Sahara Overland” but awaiting delivery of maps we are now in the initial stages of planning our trip from Tangier to Accra (Ghana).
Following recommendations it seems that the best route for us “first timers” is the Atlantic Route. From our research it looks as though the route we propose is:
Tangier, Marrakech, (through the Atlas mountains … I always said I would come back), Quarzazate, Zagora, Tagounite, Mhamid, Forum Zguid, Tata, Assa, Tan Tan, Dakhla, into Mauritania: Nouadhibou, Nouakchott, Tidjikja, Nema into Mali on to Bukina Faso and down to Ghana (a country we know well).
My question is, to get the best out of a trip like this how long should we allow?
Also, has anybody any idea about shipping costs/practicalities of a LR110 or LCR from Ghana or West Africa back to the UK?
Many thanks for any given
Ian
