Current Border info From People on the ground for West Africa
Hi Guys,
With all that is going on in West Africa right now I thought I would start a thread to try get as up to date info on current border crossings.
The route that I have planned right now is Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon,Gabon, Congo, DRC, Zambia.
Once in to East Africa crossings are very easy and all borders are open and all visas can be obtained at the border.
The latest I have heard is the border between Nigeria and Cameroon has been shut? If this is the case it makes it almost impossible to get through via West Africa. Unless it is possible to ship a bike from Togo or Benin to Gabon.
So if you are currently traveling through West Africa any info you can share will be a big help.
I am catching the ferry to Morocco on the 19th or 20th of December from Spain.
I know that there is a couple of us on here all trying to find out the current info.
I have been keeping an eye out on this sight. Border Monitor.

I have also started a blog for my trip and will be placing up to date info on my sight as I travel down through West Africa.
