sincerely the both have good biz opportunities but as 4me i prefer liberia. Sierra leoneans are born liars and thieves without conscience but if u learn to live with them, u have passed. Its quite peaceful though and virtually everythin here is imported and sold at high price. Their currency is poor but liberia is american dollar and liberty which is x2 of naira
can I have your contact on WhatsApp

Hey guys,
In August;
I’m planning to take a trip From Lagos to Abidjan, en route to Sénégal and then Cape Verde for a west African tour.
In Abidjan, I plan on spending 3-4 days in Abidjan, before moving to Sénégal with the same idea then Cape Verde.
My total budget so far for the trip is at 200K Naira. And the idea is to enter as much West African countries as I can (getting stamps) before I’m back.
Now my questions are:
1. I want to carry 100k cefa on my person from the 200k through the trip for miscellaneous (is that advisable) or should I leave all of it in the bank?
2. I plan on using Airbnb for my stay, is that okay or should I just go for a hotel?
3. Is there anyone planning on taking that route, we can go together?
4. Can I use an mtn sim from Nigeria throughout the trip(Abidjan and Dakar) or what do y’all think?
5. Lastly, is there anything I should know or any advice y’all can give me? I’ll be more than grateful.
I await your favorable response.

I don't understand what you mean by "to make it in Nigeria" bro. People like you are those who believe that life is all about Money. Have you considered your health, the environment, your happiness and your safety ? That's what proves you're wise and want the best for yourself. This life is not all about Money.
That's why people like you have decided to be patriotic no matter how bad things have gone wrong in Nigeria as long as they are getting the money. You're still too far from reality of life.
I just stumbled on this thread now. Your moniker seems to give you away. Are you a brother? I am too. You pulled those your comments out of my mouth. Life is beyond money.
Please I await your response.

Hi,

Let me attempt to respond to your questions.

What you're planning to do is something I've always wanted to do for a while, but haven't gotten the balls to finally do it. Anyways, to the responses:

1. You'll be better off with your cash, although not too much. Nowhere is 100% safe, and you don't want to get stranded after being mugged. On the other hand, keeping your money in the bank has its hassles too, especially with regards to being able to withdraw across West Africa. I know Ecobank has several branches in the region, and it may be easier getting your money in many of these countries with their card.

2. I'd go for Airbnb every day and 17 times on Fridays. For me, I find it a lot more flexible than hotels. Also, it's a way to connect with locals wherever you go, and you may be able to get useful tips from the folks you stay with.

3. I don't know of anyone planning this. I'd love to, but haven't got the time right now.

4. If you're willing to bear roaming charges on your Nigerian MTN sim, then that's okay. You'll be able to use it. A cheaper option will be to buy local sim cards especially in places where you'll be staying for a while. To get a sim card, they'll request for a means of ID, usually your international passport. Once you are able to present that, you'll get your sim card. The only thing is that by the time you're done with your trip, your bag will probably be full of sim cards...lol

5. Advice? I'd say you should go for this. The experience you'll get will be one you'll never forget. It can be life changing. I once did a road trip from Rwanda through Uganda to Kenya and Tanzania, and then back to Rwanda. It was one hell of an experience.

I'm a little wary of your budget though. You mentioned you've got 200k for this trip...I'll suggest you review your budget again and be sure it'll take you the whole way and back. Last time I checked, there were no ferries running between Dakar and Praia (Cape Verde), and a flight might take a huge chunk out of your pocket. So, check again. You don't want to get stranded in a foreign land. But again, where's the fun in it if you don't get stranded...pun intended.

Plan well, go, have fun, and come share with us. Don't forget to send pictures grin grin grin

Hi I love your adventure. I personally will be going on a work trip(for my organization) to Ghana,Abidjan, Liberia and Senegal. Although mine will be first week of September.

200k will be okay if you are tight on your budget and u use their transportation system. In 2018 I made a trip like this(then unemployed)from Lagos to Cotonuo,Lome,Accra and Senegal and back lol. U won't believe I went with about 100k or less and I mist confess I had a great time. So I encourage you to take the trip coz it's part of exposure and enlightenment

Haha thank you bro, this means a whole lot.
I would have loved if your field trip was in august lol then we for move together.

I’ll like to immerse myself in their culture even if it’s for a short while, my plan is to go forth and back in a maximum of 3 weeks and I’m looking at Cape Verde or Mauritius as the last stop before I return.
I’ll be sure to add to my budget so I don’t have unnecessary stories lol.
Mine is Lagos,Cotonou,Lomé,Accra then chill for a few days at Abidjan, then Liberia, Sierra Leone and chill at Sénégal.. then Gambia and maybe any of the islands.
So far I’ve been able to see a ride down to Abidjan but after that I’m not certain.
Any notable bus service? From Abidjan to Dakar?
I’ve never traveled by road for a long distance so a little comfort Will be good. Lol
I await you guy’s favorable response.
