Riding buddy for Africa
Hi there
Looking for a riding buddy (age doesn't matter, as long as you take things with a smile and think positive) for the African continent. A person with eager for adventures, and a heart for the African continent and its people. Start in the beginning or mid of March, 2010, taking the ferry from Algeciras, Spain to Tanger, Morocco or to Ceuta. Expected duration is 3 months. Route: (Westcoast) Morocco Western Sahara (Morocco) Mauritania Senegal Mali Burkina Faso Ghana Togo Benin Nigeria Cameroun Gabon Congo DRC Namibia South Africa Or alternate going down the coast through: Gambia Guinee Sierra Leone Liberia…. About me: I am riding a Honda VFR from 1996, and have been travelling since start of May 2009, when I left Denmark. (In Spain at the moment, preparring the bike and papers). I am 31 years old and capable of doing all nessasary repairs myself. I was in Africa in September-October, but had to return from Dakar, Senegal due to illness (Lariam pills). (Ever since I haven't been able to forget about this fascinating continent). I have experience with procedures of Morocco, Mauritania and Senegal. Border crossings,visa, good places to stay etc... I have contacts in: Mauritania Nouadhibou Senegal, Dakar Gambia, Banjul Nigeria, Lagos We will camp in the nature, stay at cheap camping sites, hostels, motels, hotels and friends places on our way down. Send me a PM if you are up for adventures you would remember for the rest of your life! Hope to hear from some of you. Lets have a great trip down the dark continent... mhoey Around the World Journey | mhoey |

In Gambia
If any of you come through The Gambia, I live here and am happy to host/help out/perhaps even ride part of the journey. I'm familiar with the area, including Mali.

Hi
I was looking to travel East to Nepal in March but am having problems with getting through China cheaply. Africa might be a nice alternative! Will you be riding or flying back from South Africa? W! |

Thanks for your reply. I will ship the bike to South America after Africa and continue my journey there. I would have loved crossing the Atlantic Ocean by ship/boat too instead of flying. The Eastern way sounds amazing too. Kind regards mhoey Around the World Journey | mhoey |
Cool.
BTW I understand that the cost of shipping and airfreight are not much different when you account for all the various agents/handlers/ customs etc etc. |
