Both passports have a variety of visa costs & freebies ...

eg. Guinea - US will pay more than the French (especially at the Bamako Embassy!)
Cote d'Ivoire - no visa needed for US but the French one will!
Senegal - OK for both I think - check on the US requirements, I may have that wrong
Mauritania - both will need visas
Burkina Faso, Niger, Togo & Benin - both can travel on the Visa Touristique d'Entente (also valid for CI)
Ghana - both need a visa

Not sure where you are thinking of heading but that should get you started!

Thanks for the info, I am not too worry about me as a french citizen but my pillon is US citizen and I was interested to see if this will be a problem in Africa.

Merci encore pour ton aide Kira

Americans can have a very difficult time getting visas for Sudan, but it doesn't sound like you are headed there.

I think that I may go down from Europe to South Africa on the west side ( seems easier) but if timing is right I may go up on the East side to cross toward Russia and go toward Asia.

Thanks for your help.
