Shipping south from Ghana, some advice please.

Hello everyone.

I am currently in Mali and due to the ebola border closures travel south is becoming an issue. I have been thinking of heading down to Ghana and checking out the ports of Accra and Tema. I will be going to Togo so I will look at Lome as well. It seems that because of the Nigeria/Cameroon border closure shipping over the problem may well be by best choice.

I have done a few searches on here and not come up with too much. Does anyone have any information? Walvis bay in Namibia has come up. Anything would be of help for me to follow up.

Thanks everyone.

I would suggests to try out, if the borders are really closed. We dont have really validated informations here who are mentioned about overland border crossings of us travellers.

Today I read about overlanders in Westafrica, where the ebola outbreak dont seems to stop their border crossings:

There overlander report their current experiences about bordercrossings of

Burkina Faso, Benin, Togo, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire.

Where they have to wash once their hands at the border and once they meter the body temperature, or have to fill a form.

One of them too write an blog: jealousyreloaded.bplaced.net

I guess that it is more relaxed, if you are there, as here if you watch the news and some forums...

Where did you stay in mali? Maybe you are able to meet other traveller in the sleeping camel @ Bamako, or to get more updated informations there?

Hopes that help you a bit,
