Hi Piero, we have just returned from a trip through West Africa in a Landrover Defender. We had no problems at all with the people in GB or Guinea Conakry. All very friendly. Usual police check points, some look for small things wrong to try and impose fines. But they are not very good at it, make them laugh and they forget about it. There were very few travellers in both countries in Feb / March this year. We did meet a few bikers. We spent 3 days at the carnival in Bissau city where hundreds of people flocked ... it was all very good natured and no real trouble.
Guinea Conakry was just as welcoming, Fouta Dijlon region fabulous.
Regards Lisa / Campfirecookie
