DODGING MILITARY CHECKPOINTS | Motorcycle World Tour | Africa #37
I'm advancing and crossing military controls across this new country, Togo. I'm heading south, I'm beginning to notice how the landscape changes, getting greener and leafy. I intend to cross some great mountains, I don't know what I'm going to find, but on the map, they look great...

ANGRY COP in BURKINA FASO | Motorcycle World Tour | Africa #31
I set out to leave Ivory Coast to enter Burkina Faso, known during colonization as Alto Volta. There has been an attack on the French embassy and because of my beard the police search every inch of my bags. The Carnet de Passages is totally unknown on the border I want to enter... Bureaucracy is not my favorite activity and neither, it seems, is it that of the customs agents around here...

Attempted ROBBERY in CAMEROON | Motorcycle World Tour | Africa #56
After climbing Mount Cameroon, I decide to set course for the south of the country. This means getting out of the conflicted English-speaking zone and entering the French-speaking area, where everyone tells me I'll be much safer...
But Murphy quickly appears...

I SNEEK into a COUNTRY at WAR | Motorcycle World Tour | Africa #50
Here comes a very tense moment on the journey. Sneaky Nico is back. It is now time to cross the border between Nigeria and Cameroon and try to cross the area of Cameroon that is in a civil war, Ambazonia.
Ambazonia is the English speaking part of the country, that seeks independence and where groups of rebel militias have emerged, who brutally attack the French-speaking military. But the military is not so different and use the same terrorist tactics, go in, kill indiscriminately and get out.
As if that weren't enough, a couple of weeks before he arrived, the President banned the use of motorcycles in that area, as the terrorists use them for attacks and flee on them...
The atmosphere is very tense, on the road I see burnt cars and bullet casings, but one of the things that catches my eye, are the completely abandoned villages. For these people to give up everything they have, the place has to be extremely dangerous...
Here's another video for anyone who wants to understand a bit more about the Ambazonia conflict:

CORRUPT POLICE in Ivory Coast | Motorcycle World Tour | Africa #29
I leave behind the paradisal Rastafarian beach and set off for Burkina Faso, the visa is running out and I have to hurry... I should have left a few days earlier because now it's my turn to apply for and manage the visas that are needed for Burkina Faso. Lots of motorbike, lots of beating and a lot of thrashing.

HOW DO YOU CROSS THIS BY MOTORCYCLE? | Motorcycle World Tour | Africa #59
After working on the bike, I head for the coast. I feel like camping on the beach for a few days. I am welcomed by a fishing village and I spend a wonderful few days by the sea. When I leave there, I run into a truck that just overturned, destroying on the bridge... and that's the only way out...

HOW TO PASS THROUGH A MILITARY CONTROL | Motorcycle World Tour | Africa #36
I leave Burkina Faso and enter a new country, Togo. It is always a joy to visit a new nation, it usually means new culture, new people, and new landscapes. I'm getting closer and closer to the jungle and it's becoming noticeable. Togo, like the vast majority of countries in the area, is full of military controls... It's not something I particularly like, but as they say, practice makes perfect. We keep moving forward...

I DIDN'T EXPECT HIS REACTION | Motorcycle World Tour | Africa #53
I don't know very well where the conflict ends. There are fewer and fewer military controls and people's faces when they see me are a little more normal, but I still bump into some law enforcement who want to play with me... With this and that, Cameroon is cool.

AFRICAN CORRUPTION | Motorcycle World Tour | Africa #30
I continue to advance towards the north of Ivory Coast, with the intention of crossing into Burkina Faso. This part of the country is full of military controls, as in many places, they try to take some money from me, but I play my cards to try to get out unscathed. Corruption is part of the continent, so the sooner you learn how to manage it, the better.

DEAD BATTERY in Mali | Motorcycle World Tour | Africa #21
After the small battery incident in the previous chapter, I'm still trying to start the bike... I leave the National Park of La Baoulé and find the asphalt in the city of Kita. From there it will be possible to go back through Bamako and get to the Ivory Coast by road, but in front of me is another natural park, and as you know, like a moth to a flame...

LOST IN MALI | Motorcycle World Tour | Africa #22
It's been a long day. Because I did not take the main road, I need to find a boat to cross the Niger river.
In my head it was easy, but in practice it turns out not to be so...
We'll see if I can cross before the night falls ...

I SLEEP on the STREET in Burkina Faso | Motorcycle World Tour | Africa #33
I am not passionate about cities, but because of visas I have to stop in many of them... Usually there are no great adventures. But it's interesting to see other things during the trip. In this case I am trying to get a visa for Nigeria. I have already been warned that it is one of the most difficult to obtain... Finally, night in the city surprised me... with the bike disassembled and little chance of getting out of there... The adventure continues...

DESPERATE CHOICE | Motorcycle World Tour | Africa #23
What I thought it was going to be a mere formality, becomes a real odyssey. I'm still looking for a ferry to cross the Niger before night falls.
My ignorance of French makes it even more complicated. Asking you get to Rome, or so they say ...
Every time I'm more immersed in the adventure, the journey continues!

Rolling into the UNKNOWN | Motorcycle World Tour | Africa #13
I go deeper into Mali just how I like to, on a remote road that takes me through rural areas. From the get go, Mali is giving me good vibes, though I’m not sure how far it’s safe to go, since the country is in the midst of a serious crisis, brought on in part by a Tuareg independence rebellion, which is branching off into several terrorist groups… The journey grows ever more interesting.
