We started our Western Africa journey from Morocco. We passed 17 countries until Namibia in 7 months. We spent most money for visas. And sometimes we had to change our route because of visa hunting. 🙂

When we started our journey we said that “Our daily budget is 50 USD for discover the world by motorcycle.” End of the month, year… etc. If the budget is aprox. 50 USD we are safe. 🙂

Daily, we have been writing how much we are spending with all detail. Therefore, so easy for us to see country by country our spent and discuss what we spent for nothing to be careful.

Congo and DRC was most expensive country for us because of visa fee. 🙁 End of the day, our daily budget was 37.82 USD  for Morocco to Namibia. Less then what we were thinking.  This doesn’t mean that we are so careful or all countries are so cheap. People invited us to stay or offered food. They also helped us for motorcycle parts… etc. It was great experienced to met people, learn culture and life style, also make a lot of friend in Western Africa.

    Hi FS&GS! I have been very impressed at the level of detail you’ve managed to give on your blogs. It really is very much appreciated.
    I am aiming to follow your route down to Namibia at the start of November and was trying to see if you’d put how you accessed monies. As I have not been able to see it I thought I would ask. Were you able to find banks where you could withdraw funds, or did you carry a substantial amount? Also, if cards are accepted at banks – would you recommend Visa or Mastercard?
    I look forward to hearing from you.

      Hey Ron, sorry bit late reply but still before November 😉 Visa is a little bit more excepted as Mastercard, I think only Mauritania didn’t except Mastercard so a Visa card is the best option I think. A lot of banks except them, no worries.
