“I really enjoyed my trip around west Africa. It was well organised and the crew were incredibly hard-working. Enjoyed the bumpy roads through Guinea and Sierra Leone, bush camping, Ganvie stilt village, pirogue trips and tricky border crossings”

“The group expierience was very important to me. This experience was made possible by the overlanding concept of living together, receiving a role and a task by working in the cooking group and caring for the truck. Thats what a group needs to build. I cannot imagine going on a group tour again only sitting around doing nothing.”

“Basically its a great trip for meeting local people. Most interesting countries were Togo, Benin and Guinea. I really enjoyed the Voodoo ceremony and watching local drumming/dancing in Benin and Togo.”
