It's possible to do it by yourself if your well prepared. Though it is a hard and tiring slog, but the roads are getting better year by year. I did it in 2009/10 alone.
You may meet up with other travellers in a few key points - like the Sheraton in Abuja (free camping by the soccer field).

Hi Daniel
I'm in Mauritania now heading for Togo on my motorcycle. I started my Around Africa Trip a year ago. I came up the eastcoast of Africa, Middle East, Europe and now back in Africa. Unfortunately (I regret it now), I sold my motorcycle to an Australian guy who will be studying in Ghana. He has already given me a deposit so the deal is a certainty. Our exchange takes place in Lome in the first week of August. I was planning on flying back to SA or somewhere else since it's still cold in SA. If the timing works out, and you want a hitchiker, I'll be glad to travel with you for some of the way. I travel on a SA passport (I also have a Canadian one), so after Togo I require visas only for Nigeria, Cameroon, Congo and Angola I'm a white collar by profession but am mechanical, 'bush' savvy and don't mind roughing it You can contact me by e-mail if you wish on nmennigke@yahoo.ca Cheers for now Neville

Journey South.
Thanks for offer of support Nevill I got your email on my personal yahoo will send you one back!
For RoamingYak I wonder if you could tell me the harder parts of the journey south. I am thinking:- Mali,BurkinaFaso,Ghana,Togo,Benin,Nigeria,Cameroon ,Congo,Angola,Namibia, S.A. What part of this is going to eat me in the rainy season alone. Truck is strong. 1994 4.2 liter turbo diesel 80 series land-cruiser with winch etc. Carrying little weight. Any advice appreciated. Thanks Daniel
