Hi People
I'm interested in travelling to Ghana or West Africa and would like some company.
I've been to Ghana before back in 2004 and loved it. I'd like to go back or to some neighbouring countries and are looking for a person to travel with.

I'm 34yrs single male. Very friendly and good sense of humour. Willing to take on or travel with all walks of life.

I've nothing boked yet so open to dates and routes etc. I'm from Leeds, England.

Thanks, look forward to hearing from you.

When are you planning on going & how were you intending to get there.

I'm hoping to do a drive down from southern France & will be taking people along the way to help contribute to fuel etc in a vehicle for a NGO in Cote d'Ivoire.

Not sure when possibly late November/early December, maybe earlier. I will put a message up when dates are clearer

Hi,
Sounds interesting.
Driving straight through?
What entry port?

Aiming to do it in 2 weeks, starting from Tangiers & straight down.

When I know dates etc, I will post them on here to offer lifts down

Me and my boyfriend will be in Senegal in November, Mali in early December and Ghana from mid-December - rough plan. Would be very interested in sharing a car Kira if you pass through those countries and if you have space (will watch the board for your plans when you post them). Am also keen on going to Cote d'Ivoire but have been warned against travelling through the north from Mali - is this only a problem on public transport?

Andrew get in touch if our plans match yours at all!

M, could be interesting!

The north of CI is fine at the moment, I'm ideally looking at going down just before the elections (29th Nov) and getting over the border beforehand but it's doubtful, so I will have an eye on the press! The north was difficult before when the rebels controlled it, but it's generally fine now, public transport or otherwise.

I definitely won't be wanting to go into Senegal, I'll be crossing Mauri-Mali then down into CI on the road that's near the Burkina border which isn't in too bad shape apparently compared with the Senguela road.

Makes sense! Keep me posted on your plan - perhaps we could join you from Mali down through CI to make our own way to Ghana. Good luck with the planning and I'll be watching the press too!

Hi,
Would you be interested in having one person tag along for the whole trip?
No stops needed!
Is any part of the trip a yellow fever area?

Feel like I've hijacked the thread!!!

Michelle, keep in touch!
South of 60; it could be a possibility, there may be two of us, my hardened Italian friend may join the ride too, leaving enough room to cater for a total of 5!

Whatever, it'll be hard going (in terms of time) but fun!

Kira you forget Okoto from Abidjan. I am planning to join you from Mali, if you manage to change your dream to reality.
