Transatlantic route south to north
Transatlantic route (South to North) for dummies
Hello Overlanders
We have some “burning” questions concerning doing the transatlantic route from south (Mali) to North (probably Slovakia). We will be moving to Europe after ten years West Africa…
We have an old Toyota Landcruiser BJ70 in reasonable condition with Malien numberplates, Malien Carte Grise, Malien Visite Technique and Malien insurance (only covering CDEAO countries so nothing North of Mali). We have Dutch passports with Malien visa, German international health insurance and a Dutch (no international) driving license. Plus two african dogs with dutch papers, chips and bloodtests results concerning rabies.
Our questions are:
- can we drive from Mali to Europe with a Dutch driving license (the interantional one is not valid anymore and we can only get a new one in Holland..)?
- how and where do we get insurances for our car for Mauretania, Marocco and Europe?
- Can we expect to get controls concernig the technical state of our car when we arrive in Europe?
- Has anyone experience or advise doing this trip with dogs?
- Apart from Mauretania, do we need a visa for Marocco or any other country?
- All information and advice concerning the trip, good campsites etc. are welcome!
Thanks!
