time is money. it will take you long and cost way more than flying. if your purpose is to avoid paying too much for travel. this is a futile alternative. if its for fun, its something else. Beware, morocco no dey play with africans. them go make you eat human feceas. You will regret. What if you get robbed where will you turn to then? no money, no passport, no embassy? One thing is universal, the world is not pleasant for poor people. You go smell pepper  |

By the way, I am planing similar journey. However, this is for Summer 2009.
The logistics, local knowledge, travel safety need clear planning ahead.

Watched a TV program about some French guys who joined a convoy of vehicles to cross the Sahara Desert. Along some portions of the journey, any vehicle that strayed from the established trail stood a good chance of getting blown to bits by land mines left over from past wars.
Add to that the risk of roving bandits, sand storms, corrupt police forces and possible vehicle break-downs out in the middle of the badlands, and anyone planning a drive across that Sahara Desert had better make no mistakes once they're out there, for there are will be no road-side emergency phone boxes to call for help.

so has anyone done this?
You must be insane. are trying to be cannonball like max cooper or gumball like bob hallam/
Armed robbers, corrupt officials, settle all the way .
The ticket to lagos is like £400.
Suv is what 20mpg at price of petrol/diesel plus the bribery and the chance of dying in the sahara of meeting charles taylors men or cotedivoire AK47.
No thanks

Are there people interested in this? Its one thing I would really love to do. So, is there anyone - Just one mor person interested in this! Forget that twould cost more than travelling by air. The adventure is unquantifiable and would last one a lifetime.

Sienna, you could be one of the key figures to complete the jigsaw puzzle, we need an automobile technician i can see that you are in the know when it comes to fixing diagnosing cars add ivvivie and i would say were close to completion. The idea is not dead just not had enough responses to make it viable, we could make it for Christmas and start all the logistics from now. We will need a few french speakers and any sisters with liver and heart please join this adventure.  |
