Joebryan:
Thank you very much bro..

Yes Barbados. To transit via Amsterdam.

But please also help me on this. I want to apply for my International passport and I personally have all the requirements but the other part of the requirements is that of a guarantor, whose international passport data page, driver's license and passport photos are needed. Now, the international passport of the person who has volunteered to be my guarantor has expired and he has not yet renewed it because according to him, he has no intention of travelling for now. So I want to know, will the Nigerian Immigration accept the data page of that expired passport or must it be a valid one before it will be acceptable? Please advice me.. Thanks

OK, don't know if this is against the rules, chat me up would give you a contact at either ikoyi or festac. But it won't come out immediately, would take a week or 2. 64 pages.

Joebryan:
Help please.. Must I have an international passport before I can book a flight online?

Secondly, Can I book a flight online (e.g with KLM) and pay for it later on?

Lastly, if am travelling to a visa on arrival country but to transit through another country, will I need a transit visa?

Huge appreciate in advance to anyone who assits me on this questions..

1. Nope you don't need an international passport, but without an international passport you can't get a visa, for visa free countries the airline won't lift you

2. Yes, if its still available when you want to pay

3. Yes you would need a transit visa

Looks like you heading to Barbados or dominican or fiji??

Damianking:
Am interested .

OK follow the thread and share your opinion

GrandFinale2017:
cost of transportation to and fro. And how much equates a Naira with ceedis

36000 should do to and fro.

CEDI's should be 85 - 90 naira a cedi

So places to visit....

In Lomé for example, the night life is okay and stuff there seems affordable, but in terms of fun things to do, nothing much , you could just hang out by the beach, or go to their fetish market to look at some mystical stuff there.
The city is quite small so you can go round it in a day sef

For Cotonou...Let me see...
The night life is electrifying there, certainly bigger than Lome and have more fun things to do, however many of the tourist sites are not In Cotonou proper, but Ouidah, ganvie and Porto novo (which are all in close proximity to each other)
So if you guys can find your way, you can visit the temple of pythons and the historical slave museum both in Ouidah, also in Ouidah is the place of no return, where slaves were passed through and Never came home, there is a monument there, and I also advise you take the journey to that plave on foot, so you have the feel of passing the same route that millions of slaves passed through before they left Africa for good.
Ganvie is floating on water so you guys will go round that place in canoe. You will love that too.


For Accra (Ghana) it is a bigger country than the first two I listed up there combined; So the commute between Accra and another city ( like say Kumasi or Cape coast) will be longer, so what I'll advise here is to just stick to Accra and cape coast.
In Cape coast, you will go to Kakum Natural park or so, it's a Chilling spot, and in addition, you get to do the canopy walk.
Also in Cape Coast you will see the slave castle (Elmina ) and other old buildings of more than 400 years old.
The beach is okay too

Then Accra, you go to the independence square, you will see some tourism stuff there. You can also go to Bojo beach, but the thing is that you have to take a boat to get to that beach, and that beach is cool.
You can also go to the mall, and even hang out in Osu at night

But remember, Ghana is expensive o, jiri nwayoo maka ego
Use an Uber taxi in Ghana too, it's cheaper, because you will be charged based on the distance and the time it took you to get there (I guess) But don't use uber inrush hour in Ghana o

You will SUFFER




Then Abidjan.....
Well, over there you can visit the beach, take a tour round the city, go to the zoo, enjoy the nightlife etc
You can even take a bateaux bus for the experience, going from one part of the city to the other on the lagoon, that one was so much fun for me, and its even cheap.
The main tourist attraction in Ivory coast is in Yamaousoukro. The biggest church building in the world (you can Google it)
That place and that city is very fine, and it is just like 2 hours away, so its a trip you can go and come back the same day,

Let me get back to work guys


I'll talk about suggestions on how to transport yourself between these countries later on.

Take care

Thanks sir. Would be expecting

megastu:
I used to be a lover of road trips, but when i tried it in West Africa, i almost regret. Seme border alone was 4 hrs. I enjoyed my stay at Ouidah though.

Please do share your experience sir. Would go a long way in guiding us in the thread

GrandFinale2017:
any idea if it'll be possible to travel from lagos to accra via road and how much it may cost me?

Very much possible sir

Xlpacks:
Like how much should someone budget for this?

250000 sir, 4 countries asides Nigeria. Depending on agreement we can do a close-up tour in Lagos.

Ugosample:
As an experienced traveller here (pardon me for "bragging" , I can be of assistance to you.

I have one backpacked all the way to almost the Emd of west Africa, so take this as advice from my own personal experience.

Now you said you want a road trip, that is ok and cheaper, because flight rates have gone up (the last time I did LOS-ABJ, I paid almost 150k)

I hope you have an international passport, as this will make this trip easier for you.

Now for budgeting for two weeks, I will advise you go with as much money as you can, starting from N200k because to tell you the honest truth, naira don spoil, but it us regaining strength small by small.

N150k can still try, but you will be constrained.


So this is how you will go......

(stay tuned)

Bro thanks, been following your west African comments.

Yea this is a planing stage, and I would appreciate your comments very much. Do you know places to visit in Cotonou and Abidjan. Do you still stay in Abidjan?

Good morning house

Hmmm

Hmmm

obiagbaoso:
Return ticket

1st to return in a months time

617 900

British airways

This is like the average price for Detroit in michigan

Still on the travel project, we need opinions here for the thread to move on

Godfavourme:
Pls enlighten me on this, someone bought me a ticket to Turkey and unfortunately I've paid someone to get one for me. So I'm having two tickets for same flight on same day and I've been calling the person I gave money to cancel it and refund me but refused. Pls what do you think I can do?

Depends if the fare is refundable. If yes, follow the guy diplomatically. If no, I think you just let go

.

obiagbaoso:
Please any idea about cheapest flight from Lagos to Michigan state USA for any date in October

One way or return?

Call us today

Nihilist:
Oh seen. Thanks for the compliment too.

Where would you have in mind in Lagos anyway? I've heard there are some mad beach resorts now

Lagos is another project entirely, yea lots of cool beaches

Won't know about resorts cause you know we tourists work on a budget but Lagos has really lovely spots now. But its always tarkwa bay for me.

lenghtinny:
What are the terms and conditions

You must be above 18 at least for now

Piiko:
I love this idea if 100 grand can take me there I am in

That is why the thread is here, I would do all the ground work, but we do the planning on this thread atleast for now. Thanks for stopping by

Nihilist:
Sounds like a great idea in theory, although I would have assumed that this is the sort of trip you have with close friends, not strangers recruited off the internet...

Bro I really admire the manner you render your opinion, but I actually brought it here so I could share ideas and attract like minds. Close friends might not share your likes you know. All the same I am honored

Who would love the idea of a road trip from Lagos to abidjan back to Lagos

Lagos - Cotonou - Lome - Accra - abidjan then abidjan - Accra - Lagos.

A tourist road trip. If interested mention me so we all plan together.

It should be a 2 weeks tour.

Day 1: Lagos to Cotonou

We would choose 3 locations here to visit, they also have lovely beaches.

We would spend a day and 2 nights here

Day 3: Cotonou to Lome

Same as we did in Cotonou, locations is open to participants choice.

We would spend a day and 2 nights too

Day 5: Lome to Accra

There are lots of options in Ghana. I would update the thread on tour locations while we all read up on it to check if it catches our interest.

We would spend 3 days 2 nights

Day 9: Accra to abidjan

We would contribute on location if you are interested while I get to update the thread as we go

We would spend 2 days 3 nights

OK what is your question exactly sir? If its work, you would use someone else paper to work to you are neutralised.

oyi2:
Oh really?! I hope won't regret waiting that long.
How low do you think it can go?

OK if you flexible with your date

21 DEC to 8 Jan

1 adult: 565 500

1child: 481 700

Total: 1 047 200

Turkish air

I think this fare is fair

oyi2:
Oh really?! I hope won't regret waiting that long.
How low do you think it can go?

This is summer and fare is generally high now cause a lot of people are travelling at once, airlines are banking in on the traffic. By last week of October or first week of November, you would get a relative cheap fare to what you would get now

Onedibe1:
Okay,thanks...I dont know if you have any idea on america tourist/business visa?

If you have a legitimate and registered business or you working with a defined salary structure, you can always apply for either visas even with a virgin passport by yourself. Just have s good and sufficient financial base. Go and read the america thread on NairalaNd to get more ideas
