A journey of more than 18,000 kilometers. With lots of stopovers of several days, to process what we’ve seen and to relax. After half of the trip, you can recuperate in the radiant sunshine on the beaches on the coast of Benin for a week, before we start on the second part of our West Africa tour.
This trip corresponds to the same sequence of trips as offered in our individual trips. Of course, the resting days between the individual trips (usually 2 - 3 days), as well as the connecting trip from Benin to Cameroun passing Nigeria, is included in the price.
We will not be cooking on the days of rest. But you are welcome to use the kitchen on board. Or visit one of the many local small restaurants. We will be paying your camping fees.
You don’t have to pay a “local payment”. Beside the visa fees there are no hidden costs. All of our excursions and the most of our meals are included in the tour price.
