From Belgium to Togo in august: possible?
 

I am planning to drive from Belgium to Togo with a couple of friends but we all have our holiday in august.
I know that in most of the countries we have to cross there will be rainy season.
Does anybody know if it is possible to drive through in august? and do we need a 4x4 for that?
We are also in discussion if we go via Marocco our Algeria. Does anybody has suggestions for us? Thanks in advance

Hey Nele,

We leave begin July (from BE ;-) ) and plan to be in Togo around the first half of september. From what I've heard/read it sure is possible, it might take a bit longer and be prepared to make some detours if the situation is too bad. But main roads should be passable.

We choose not to go trough Algeria because sahara in the middle of summer is REALLY hot. Going via Morocco and Mauritania gives you the option to follow the coast if it is too hot in the desert. No such option when going trough Algeria.

How are you going? 4wd, 2wd, moto?
How mucht time do you have?

yo!
we are facing africa frm barcelona to...Mali, or Benin or Sierra Leone (still under hard thinking)
We know abot rain: last yearin august there where loods even in bilma in the Teneré....yeah! the Teneré!
This year we still don't know where to go.
maybe mali and he up troough the tanezrouft ( is that possible)
Hope to meet you there...
