shipping Land Rover Defender from Lomé or Accra to Walvis bay.
Hello!
Me and my husband are currently planning a journey from Sweden/Germany to Cape Town, along western Africa. Right now we are looking into the possibility to ship our Land Rover from Lomé, Togo or Accra, Ghana to Walvis Bay, Namibia. We will have a carnet and we would like to use a RORO or a container (although the height is 2,5 meters...).
Does anyone have experience regarding shipping cars from Lomé or Accra? Do you have any tips about shipping services?
All the best,
Caroline

Thank you for your response!
I have read several threads about shipping 4x4s on this forum and they had some good tips which I followed up on. But I haven't found the information I'm looking and asking for. Most threads are about shipping motorbikes and I'm looking for someone who shipped a 4x4 the specific routes Lomè-Walvis bay or Accra-Walvis bay. Or perhaps I have missed something? If you do know where I can find this information, please let me know and post a link.
All the best,
Caroline

Hi,
Steven and Sitha from Belgium shipped their 4x4 truck from Accra to Walvisbaai just over a month ago. You can send them a message on Facebook:
