Dakar to Freetown
West African Overland Tour

The first two weeks of this West African Overland Tour will have relatively short drive days on reasonable roads – but once you cross the border from Guinea Bissau into Guinea, the tarmac ends and you go off road for some fun driving in the Guinean highlands. The Chinese have begun to grade and pave some of this road but driving through the Guinean highlands can get pretty interesting. It will be a tough drive for short stretches but you’ll be rewarded with some incredible scenery in the Guinean highlands. There will be one or two ferry crossings en route, and if bridges are washed out you will need to ford rivers. Be prepared for a true overland adventure along a route rarely traveled.

VISIT: Senegal, Gambia, Senegal (Casamance), Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, and Sierra Leone
