Western Africa, to Cape Town
 

Hi, me and my OH are riding C90 copies from the UK to Cape Town.

At the moment we are in Rabat sorting visas, will be in Mauritania in two weeks time and Mali three weeks after that, from then on who knows - We are going to Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Congo, DRC, Tanzania (maybe) Namibia and SA.

Anyone going to be in these parts in the near-ish future?

Sounds great hope you dont get any problems with cloused boarders because of Ebula...

I`m too jaelous to stay at home :frown:

Enjoy your trip, wish you a safe journey!

Currently i didnt read from any rejected overlanders on that route because of ebola - and I read a lot about... I read about overlanders who did cross borders in Westafrica without much hassle, so go for it bier

Ebola outbreak is causing travel restrictions down the west coast

Africa overland - Travels with Thimba

Gee has reported that a recent visit to a country with Ebola will result in South Africe denying entry at the border

PM on its way!

Zed - Will reply to pm in just a sec.

I guess we will have to see how we get on, it'll likely be a few months before we encounter any issues, who knows what will change...!?

There are at the moment 4 counties with travel restrictions. My plans have had to chance because of it.
Ill Be arriving in UK on the 5th Dec to collect my bike which is leaving Australia in the next 2 weeks.

There is a link to my blog ive started for my trip. Would love to catch up if timing was to work out!!!

That is no showstopper. There are enough routes open, also when Southafrica denying an entry. Probably they dont look after, when you did spend some time in neighbour countries. Otherwise you have to leave out SA, when you dont have a 2nd Passport.

Gee seems to have more trouble because of the dog, than of ebola... Also he stated that the Cameroon/Nigeria Border is closed, what is not approved till now by an overlander.

Instead are some overlander crossing the high risk areas and borders there these days:

Hi, we are currently in Burkina Faso, going from here to Benin, Nigeria and we really hope to cross to Cameroon. We will be in Benin at the end of this week. If someone else is crossing nigeria around same time, let us know :)
