How far south are you at the moment?
I'm in accra, ghana waiting to get visa's to continue travelling north-west.
Always good to meet up for a beer

I'm heading for Nouakchott tomorrow. Will be leaving at 3am to beat the heat as its hot as hell. Had 56deg at the border yesterday. Hoping to be in Dakar end of week to sort visas then head for Accra also for visas further south.

I'm in Dakar waiting for parts... there's a good chance I'll still be here at the end of the week if you fancy meeting for a beer.

Then I'm heading to Mali/BF/Ghana.

Just made it to Nouakchott. Rode through the night. I had to make the chose die of heat or risk the road at night. All went really well.
will get my visa tomorrow and leave next day. This heat is crazy. Looking forward to getting further south.
Would definitely like to catch up and talk routes.

Visa for Senegal? Do you still need one? They scrapped visas for Brits a couple of months ago.

As mentioned by many people on here, Diama is a pretty hassle free place to cross the border.

Yeah not sure. I heard that too. The embassy is 2 minutes walk from camp so going to go ask. No harm if not required.

I'm on my way to Abidjan now from Accra. Any of you going through Ivorycoast? or all through Mali and BF?

Checked the Senegal embassy in Accra for the same reason and got confirmed that no visa was needed any more.

borders between CDI and Guinea still closed
 
Hi Pat,

Just some info,
The border between CDI and Guinea seems to be still closed. I went up to the the town of Danane (CDI) and got told to go back since the border was still closed (for a year now according to the police).

Pat, did you make it to CDI? Or did you head up through Mali?

I'll be taking a similar route to yours in a few months. Thanks for keeping us updated.

No I was turned back. I've headed up through Mali to Burkina Faso. Just waiting on Ghana visa now before heading there.

Good luck! Any issues / advice for getting it in Ouagadougou?
