Itinerary:

An amazing, adventurous and challenging journey across the whole of West Africa, from Dakar (about as far west as you can go in Africa) to Douala in Cameroon. You’ll visit Kiang West National Park in Gambia, travel deep into Mali famed for its music and indigenous desert communities, and undertake a trek through the rarely visited Mandigue country. Crossing through Burkina Faso, with its fantastic countryside and wonderfully named cities, you’ll overland through Ghana from Mole National Park with its elephants and ‘Gold Coast’ beaches. Then, it’s through the voodoo lands of Togo and Benin, visiting small villages en route to Nigeria, your next destination and where you’ll visit Yankari National Park, home to lions, the Afi Mountains for colourful drill monkeys before venturing into the jungle. By the time you reach Cameroon you’re deep in the rainforest. Douala is the end of the road, and there’s time to hit the beach at Limbe for some rest and relaxation.
