Travel time and road conditions between Monrovia and Dakar
 

Hi,

Looking to make a trip from Monrovia to Dakar in early/mid August (i.e., rainy season). Trip will either be along the coast or via Bamako, or (maybe) a round trip using both routes. I’m looking to estimate trip time and get a feel for road conditions. I have about a month am trying to see what’s possible.

Does anybody have information on road conditions in the following countries:
- Guinea
- Guinea Bissau
- Gambia
- Senegal
- Mali

Does anybody have any idea how long a total trip would take using route 1 (up the coast) and using route 2 (via Bamako)?

Also, it would be good to estimate trip time between the following cities:

Route 1
- Freetown to Conakry
- Conakry to Bissau
- Bissau to Banjul
- Banjul to Dakar

Route 2:
- Freetown to Bamako
- Bamako to Dakar

Any info you can provide would be great. Thanks in advance.
