Description

Timbuktu is synonymous with the remote and unobtainable, but this book shows how it can be reached. Along the way you can laze on the palm-fringed beaches of Senegal, Gambia or Ghana, explore the jungles of Sierra Leone, sample fine French cuisine in Abidjan, or sip tea in a Tuareg nomad's desert tent. After years of living and travelling in West Africa, Alex Newton decided to write a comprehensive guidebook to an area that has suffered from a lack of detailed travel information. While East Africa and its wildlife have long attracted visitors, few travellers have experienced the vibrant cultures of West Africa. West Africa: A Travel Survival Kit has all the information necessary for independent travel, including how to cross the Sahara. It introduces the people, music, art and traditions of 16 countries in West Africa: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo.
