What about noise? I would thankful to know.


I have just ordered MotoZ GPS to guarantee the best durability and road confort. The piste stretches IMO do not justify the MotoZ in this trip. I cross fingers :mchappy:

Hey Esteban, I just completed that trip and posted about it with all the relevant updated info I could think of.

There it is : https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hu...-no-cdp-103697

I did it without the CDP, no issue whatsoever.
Roads are really good everywhere, you don't need malaria pills (even if you go to Casamance, which you should, they have mosquito nets and 50% DEET sprays), you don't need to do any paperwork prior. Print a few fiches beforehand. Gambia is fine but the border cops are arseholes, and you will be asked for bribes more frequently than anywhere else.

As Chris said, Guinea is another matter entirely (I'm actually on my way to find out).

Suerte compadre!

Hello!

Thanks for all the info. Sorry that I missed it on those previous days to departure, my apologies for answering late.

I came back from the trip to Senegal and enjoyed every moment! Thanks to all for the useful comments.

Stay safe and have fun!

Esteban
