Algeria/Niger closed? Change route?
Hello
I had an email back from the security company in algeria confirming that northern niger is closed. Given that I am planning on travelling from Tunisa to Ghana - this was a critical part of the route. I am now not sure what to do exactly. (And have completely planned this route!!!!)
Any advice on an alternate route would be appreciated. Is there somewhere to cross from Morocco and come into west africa that way - through Mauritania? The things I have read say that Morocco is closed borders but i see threads that contradict this?
I eventually need to get the vehicles to Kenya - Am I better to just consider coming down through Egypt/Sudan/Ethiopia/Kenya and give up on West Africa all together? Is it ever likely to get any better/safer in Niger? Any idea on how long or hard east africa would be?
It is getting to crunch time for me to decide because I of the time it takes for visas between now and when I travel in March.
Sorry for all the questions. I am just in a bit of disarray.
with thanks
Vickey
