I am looking for a traveling partner to travel through west Africa. I am riding all the way to Cape Town. I will be going through the areas affected by Ebola earlier this year. Once I have made it to Accra I plan on heading through Nigeria quite quickly then start to slow down again once in Cameroon.
I also want to go through DRC all the way from Kinshasa to Lubumbashi.
Attached is a route guide to the route from Dakar to Accra. My route is based on a friends route where he runs an Overland truck and is the only commercial truck to do this route. There are lots of sites to see. And some tough tracks to negotiate.
I am going to be in Morocco on the 7th July to collect my bike and start heading south.

Hello
If made the first part of this trip last month. I left my bmw gs 1200 at a hotel in Abuja Nigeria with plans to return and ride to Cape Town. I met a guy from France that had just rode up on a gs 650 and he said it was punishment. He said it would have been better on a 250. What are you riding. Thanks Josh
