Spain to Namibia via the West Route
We are a couple (English & Spanish) travelling in a LC 78 from Spain to Namibia starting the 20/07/2018 and due to work and family only have 7 weeks to complete this route and to save time we are just completing all the visa´s needed in Spain.
Countries we will be traveling through include; Morocco & Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, DRC, Angola.
I've travelled via 4x4 to Bamako and many times in Morocco, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and over to Georgia and back so have some experience.
Are there any travellers that want to see if we can meet up?
Cheers Alan

Alan,
I am currently doing a similar route on a motorbike. Right now, I am stranded in Dakhla, Western Sahara, trying to source some parts for the bike. I would love to meet up when I get rolling again. Where are you now?

Alan,
No worries, as I am still in Dakhla, hopefully leaving tomorrow. However, I will be going through Bamako as well. Any sage advice up to this point?

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
