Good day Nairaland.

Please is it possible to get to Ivory Coast by road? If yes, how is that done?

AKWATGOLD1:

You can go bit by bit. From Mile 2 to Seme, get a bike or bus to 'cross' you inside Seme, from Seme to Ilakonji, from Ilakonji to Aflao, from Aflao to Yamoussoukro/Abidjan OR

Board Abidjan bus from Ilakonji or direct bus to Abidjan from Mile 2.

Didijiji:
Thank you so much. Please what transport company name and can the booking be done online?

plantainbender:
Mind you, it's more expensive if you go direct to Abidjan from Lagos with one bus; way cheaper if you go bit by bit. 70-80k direct bus to Abidjan from Lagos but max 30k if you go bit by bit. Selah!

Pls, do you know how one can easily change NGN to CFA at the borders?

plantainbender:
Easy peezy! Get to Seme border, get a bike to 'cross' you to the Benin Republic side of the border, approach any of the BDCs, do the exchange.

One thing with African currencies is that, the farther you are to the host country, the lesser the value you get in exchange.


that is, if you have some Cedi with you in Lagos & you want to change to Naira, you'll get less value for the the Cedi compared to when you want to do same in Togo, Ghana or Ivory Coast.

JoeLohic:
So in essence, are you saying I might get a better offer of exchange rate in Lagos than in Benin Republic?

mystery22:
30k lol that was before

plantainbender:
Chief, with the way you're 'lol-ing', you seem to be familiar with the route.

But if you're as familiar with that route as I am, 30-35k or max 40k will get you to Abidjan. 18k got me and my fiance to Seme from Aflao last December.

JoeLohic:
what of from Benin Republic to Senegal through Mali?�

mystery22:
well I am currently there and alot has changed,but maybe you know the route more than me.cos is around 60-65k now but the stress might not be worth it since crossing some rivers maybe included

roughdiamond:
No direct Bus from Lagos to Abidjan currently as the borders are still closed.

JoeLohic:
So... now, how best can we go to Abidjan if we can't get a straight bus and the 'bit by bit' route seems stressful coupled with crossing of some rivers as someone said above?

Or is there a possible route through the northern borders
