    I have driven into African country #3, Senegal!

    And without a Carnet De Passage too, something many people have said is impossible.

    Woah, it's starting to get tropical!

    Hi All,

    I have driven into Gambia, country #4.
    After hours of arguing, I ended up paying my first bribe, unfortunately.

    Hey Everyone,

    Here's how it looked driving across Mauritania, skirting the edge of the Sahara desert.

    Hey all,

    I've been hanging out around The Gambia River, and spotted my first Hippo!
    And my first Chimpanzee!


    ...And my first Ebola warning sign... then I got horribly sick. Damn.

    Hey All,

    Another day, another bribery attempt foiled!

    Also, 9 hours to catch a single ferry - a new record for me!

    Hey All,

    I have just posted a video of my time in Senegal - which shaped up to be the Africa I have been dreaming of - colorful, friendly people, and street parties!

    Hey all,

    Thanks to my useless timing, it now rains every single day for between 8 and 10 hours.
    It's the hardest rain I have ever seen in my life, and is usually acomanied by a massive thunder and lightning storm.
    More than a few times the boom of thunder is so close it rattles the Jeep while I am asleep upstairs....

    I have driven into African country #5, Guinea-Bissau.

    Amazingly, the bribery games are identical to my one day crossing of Honduras a few years back.

    Hi All,

    Sorry for the slow updates, I'm struggling with internet access.

    I have driven into Guinea, African country number 6 !

    I'm excited to see mountains right off the bat. This is going to be great!

    Haha, no worries.

    It's hard for me to find good enough internet to do a full update to my website / this forum.

    I'm posting a lot more frequently across social media - you might want to follow along there to stay more up to date.

    Hey All,

    I'm exploring the North of Guinea and absolutely loving it.

    Small jungle tracks that lead to massive waterfalls are becoming my favorite thing!
