Smile Anyone going to west Africa beginning of 2017?

Hi,
we are a couple of 64 years old and we are planning to make a trip with our 4x4 in West Africa on beginning of 2017.
We are planning to be in Dakar on 10th of January 2017 and to go for about two months to Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Conakry, Ivory Cost or Mali, Ghana, ecc.
Our goal is to reach Capetown but with different stops (traveling two months then return to Italy for few months then returning back and so....).
We are looking if someone have the same idea....and project.
We are Italian and we speak English, French, Portuguese, Spanish and off course Italian.
Best regards
Piero & Mirella

Morocko to South Africa - Nov-16 to Jul-17

Hi Piero & Mirella,

We are a family of four who will drive a 4x4 from Malmö (Sweden) to Cape Town. We start from home 15 October and expect to pass Dakar some time in late December. We will bushcamp, take it slow and adjust our route according to our progress. Our overall plan is to fly home (and ship the car) from Cape Town late July -2017.

It will be possible to follow our possition on face book (@overlandingfamily) and blogg www.familjpaavventyr.com

I am not a frequent visitor to the HUBB but my mail is joergen.marken@gmail.com . It would be nice to stay in touch and see if our roads cross!

In the mean time: Good luck with your preperations!

/Jörgen

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
