update on crossing to senegal at Rosso
 

You can read my horror story at Africa by Motorcycle | Bloging my trip from Wales to Cape Town but:

Internet applications are not working and unlikely to be fixed as Senegal is abandoning visas from 1st May.
currently you must do everything at the border.

If you go through here, good luck!! It was the worst experience of my life. .. but i survived!

Btw if i had to do this again. I would pre-arrange a fixer and a price and meet them BEFORE the border.
Mine knew what he was doing and if i trusted him earlier my crossing would have been easier.
His name was Mamudu Rosso 002224919135

Just read your blog...Ouch!!!
I went through Diama before and will go via that route again...still a pain in the backside there, but maybe slightly better.
It was reported on the Hubb that a dutch couple paid hundreds and hundreds of Euros crossing a short while ago..looks like it worked out for you in the end ok..
