Trans Africa West 2018 / 2019
 

hi Guys
I travel by motorbike from Europe to Cape Town. Western Route. Right now in Senegal. In December and January I try the jump through Nigeria Gabon and both Congos.
Is someone traveling the same route in this time?
together is sometimes more enjoyable in the dangerous regions.
Let me know if you have the same plan.

Hi,
I did that route with 2 friends until Cameroon, where mý bike is parked now. My friends will continue in December/january. I will send you a private message. best regards Chronist

Hi Willy,

I'm on my way on a very similar route to you right now although I have only just left from London, so I am still in France.

Not sure how slow your are taking things but I'm aiming for Cape Town in about four months. Please feel free to get in touch by private message if you think we might share some of the route. I will aim to be in Nigeria by mid-December.

Lovely photos on you Spot page by the way!

Enjoy,

Dave

hey chronist
sounds great. thank you for informations about your friends

hey dave
i send you a PM

Hi mate,
Out of interest do you have a long delay (3 weeks?) before Spot posts your position? Because being able to see your previous route and reading your posts requesting information would make it quite easy to guess either where you are now or what road your likely to take next.
Kind of relevant in areas where kidnapping and car jacking is a popular business model...
Sure you've thought of it, but thought its worth mentioning for others etc

Hi,

we are two germans starting this week in Morocco and planning to be Sout Africa end of february. I know it sounds like a very tight scedule but i think its feasible.
Would be good to stay in contact - maybe we´ll catch up ;-)

Bye, Florian
