Confusing carnets
I'm having the same problem, heading for Ghana next christmas.
If you ask RAC they will give a different answer from ADAC in Germany and if you ask Motormannen (the motororganisation in Sweden) they give you yet another answer!
Why is that?! And according to my experiance on my travels none of them are right! If you look it up at Wikipedia there is also another answer.
And the difference can be huge, one organisation clames that you require carnet for example Sudan and another says that Sudan doesn't even accept Carnet!
It should not matter which country you buy the carnet, only the custom rules in the countris your about to travel in. Or did I miss something?:confused1:
Last year we drove Morocco-Gambia and the only country that asked for carnet was Senegal. According to wikipedia Senegal will now let you in from the north without one if you pay 80-100€... This time we will skip Senegal and go mali-burkina-Ghana without carnet, hope it doable. Ive heard that Gambia require carnet för RHD, but what's not a problem for me.
Cheers
