Germany to South-Africa west-route

[Norwegianguy]

We're four 19 year old guys planning to drive from Germany to South-Africa January 2018.
We want to follow the west coast all the way down. We've come far with our planning and have already bought a Hyundai Galloper 1999. We plan on taking the trip in a total time of 2-3 months.

If anyone else is traveling the same route about the same time we would love to hear from you. Very much easier if you can exchange tips and plan a bit together. Also taking the more challenging roads like west-sahara and Mauritania together.

Also, if you've already done the trip we would love to hear about some tips for the route.

The roads through WS & Mauritania will be the least of your worries, they're straightforward and in good shape ...

You'll find further south it starts getting tricky, when it's good to have others around, although a lot of people will be happy to help you!

It'll be fun!

Might be travelling to Ghana myself , if that is any good for you we could go together, done the west african route myself a few times and thats nota difficult route , know it becomes a bit more difficult after Gabon or Cameroon but let me know , my dates are adjustable . I have done morocco, western sahara ( thats still officially Morrocco) Mauritania ( the most police checkpoints i have ever encountered in a country) Mali , also done Senegal -Mali route then on to Bourkina Faso then onto Ghana . my trip starts from London by the way
