Long term parkings West Africa
 
Hi all!!
I did Cairo to Cape Town in a half a year journey. I´m back home, and I would like to continue with this dream, but this time the African West coast.
Unfortunately I do not have as much time to make that trip , and I 'm planning to do it in stages.
Has anyone information about long-term parking ( and safe) in the countries of the West African coast ?
Thank you very much for your info!!!

Do you have a bike or a vehicle?

We might be able to help you in Cote d'Ivoire & have a lot of contacts in Ghana too

Hello Marsabit !

Happy to Help you: we are doing the exact route with few stops on the way down, its quite easy to find places when you are there, this is where we parked our car on our way down:
1) Senegal - Saly --> guarded garage at a friend house (around 10€ per month)
2) Benin - Contonu --> Hotel Helvetia "Au Jardin Helvetia" Hotel - Motel - Camping - Restaurant, Houndodji-Plage, Cotonou, Benin (1€ per day)
3) Cameroun -Douala --> guarded parking in front of the Catholic Catherdral (around 0.5€ per day)

Great interesting thread.

I am starting in a week from Spain on an ATwin and think I may not make it down to Cape Town this time so I will need other parking possibilities, maybe Angola or Congo...

Will try to fill the spaces during my trip.
