Hello fellow travelers,
I've made the France-Benin trip several times via the Mali "Route de l'Espoir," and the last journey was pretty tense—2013, 🥵🔥 military convoys and all the chaos in Mali from the border to Bamako. 😅
So, I’m planning to take the route again but this time via Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire, with a good old J9 (the mayor’s vehicles I used to travel in… 😎. Though the Mercedes 308 wasn’t bad either).
Has anyone done this recently?
A friend of mine did it 4 years ago, but things can change pretty quickly.
If you’d like to share your latest experiences, I’m all ears! 😊 Have a great weekend! 👋
