western route uk to sa
 

having done the eastern route to south Africa last year we are now interested in doing the western route through mali nigeria cameroon etc. Probable starting time early 2006. Although we did the last one on our own,(in a land cruiser) safety etc means we would prefer to travel with someone..anyone interested??

Hi Jeff,
Hope this finds you well.Although am planning a similar trip but at different time maybe good to chat anyway? Drop me an e if you have the time.
Take Care,
Rob

Hi Jeff,

I'm just interested to know why you feel that travelling through West Africa is going to be more unsafe than East?

I dont think it will be any less safe, but travelling with companions will give some comfort, well i think it will!!!for soem reason i feel there will be a higher liklihood of getting stuck in mud..perhaps thats irational wh knows!!
