West Africa
I’m working up to a long open-ended trip down thw West Coast of Africa from Tangier to wherever I get, in 2023.
Maybe even Cape Town, I have no time constraints.
Has anybody done some or all of that, or know anyone who has.
My initial research suggests getting to Guinea-Bissau should be feasible enough, but after that I’m struggling to find much useful recent info.
My current concerns are:
- are the main coast roads between Senegal and Ghana paved and passable on a touring bike?
- same question for the stretch between Ghana and Angola.
- are there any long stretches where it may be difficult to find petrol?
- is it relatively straightforward to get local bike insurance at the border crossings?
- are any of the borders likely to pose a problem to someone traveling on an EU (Irish) passport?
But no doubt I will find plenty more things to worry about!
