Anybody crossing Nigeria in around the end of May?
Hi guys.
I'm Marooned in Accra at the moment whilst I sort out a new passport. I should be sorted and back on the road again in about 4-5 weeks. Anyone on here thinking about crossing Nigeria into Cameroon around that time?
I'll be going to Calabar to pick up the visa for Cameroon on route.
Let me know if you want to team up.
Cheers!
Liam and c90 around the World

Possibly.
Hi,
I'm currently in Sierra Leone still waiting for my carnet to come from Europe which could arrive any day now... I could well be in the Nigeria area around that time. I've met a number of travelers passing through here and am amping to get moving. Send me a message with your details and I'll let you know when I'm finally moving. I'm on a KLR.
CJ.

We are in dakar at the moment, but in about two wks planning to be in accra, crossing over to nigeria between 25 th and end of may.
It will be easy to get a visa for cameroon in calabar?
We are figuring out which visas to get in dakar.
Where did you get your visa for ghana and nigeria?
We are travelling on a 1990 tenere and a klr, an argentinian and a belgian.
Maybe see you on route.
Wr, bart

Coming to Sierra Leone?
Hey elbarto, Ghana is available in Freetown and Monrovia. I got my Nigerian visa in Freetown but I had a resident visa in my passport.
I heard that Cameroon is also available in Monrovia but this is not 100% confirmed.

Hi guys,
We are already in Cameroon. In the Cameroonian consulate in Calabar we met one of the most friendly staff we've met in an embassy and she gave us the visa on spot!
You can get the Nigerian visa from Burkina Faso without hassles.
You can read a lot of details about visas at:

Have a safe trip!
