carnet?
 

Hi, does anyone know if a carnet is needed for these countries: Mauritania, Mali Burkina faso, Guinia, Bissau, Gahna, Togo, Benin?

As far as I know ,it is not technically required , although It will make things much easier .
I am doing same route (from Gambia ) to Cameroon (via Nigeria) , this April/May , and I am still undecided about getting the dammed carnet (for me is quite cheap, about 600 Euros all together) .

Somewhere in this BB, someone said that carnet was definitely not required in these countries (including Cameroon , Nigeria and Eq Guinea ) .

Main problem seems that Visas for Nigeria are issued in Accra with -either a Return Air Ticket - OR a valid carnet de passage .

Let me know if you discover something about the need of a carnet in these countries ., pls.

Javier.

The best thing for you to do is contact someone who issues Carnets and ask them.
If you're in the UK that would be the RAC Bristol.
Speak to Paul Gowan or Sue Collins.
