I'm taking the coastal route as have been told there are good roads there,is this correct?We'll be going through Morocco,Western Sahara,Maurantania,Senegal,Guinea,Ivory Coast,Ghana,Togo,Benin,Nigeria and then into Cameroon.
Also,what will the conditions be like during the rainy season.I have been told that in some areas not matter what traveling in/on that its just not possable to get through,is this correct?
And one last things is there anything else I should consider?I haven't been to Africa before and any advice would be really helpfull.
Thanks for reading.[/QUOTE]
Not sure who told you that the coastal route has good roads. From Senegal into Guinea is terrible and again from Guinea into Ivory Coast the roads are atrocious! The road is tarred almost all the way from Senegal into Mali and along to Burkina, then you could head south into Ghana and along the coast that way.
You'll be less likely to be bribed that way too, the Senegal/Guinea border isn't good for bribes (on the Senegalese side at Fongelembi) and again in Guinea things aren't good .. crossing into CI there'll be bribes asked for again as you'll have to enter into the old rebel zone!
