Nigeria And Cameroon

First Mud, West Nigeria

This was the piste after the border crossing into Nigeria. It was slow going with lots of mud holes and water to cross. Nothing that stopped the Landy though.

North Nigeria

There was nice countryside throughout Nigeria. This was the view from the road as I was travelling North toward the town of Jos.

Baboons In Bus, Yankari Game Reserve

These cheeky chaps would climb in anything they could. I later experienced them at first hand, when a couple snuck into the Landy and stole a couple of oranges.




Warm Springs, Yankari Game Reserve

These were the nice thermal springs at the park. They where just a short walk from the accommodation area, and I spent a couple of hours there floating around. Made the long drive up worth it.

This is the other shallower end of the springs. Around the corner there is also a small beach.

Cows On The Move!

Africans never cease surprising me in the way they move goods and animals around.




Helping Out, Cameroon Piste

After the locals had helped me get through the first mud hole, I thought it only fair to help them in return.

Stuck In The Mud, Cameroon Piste

Further down the piste the mud got far worse. It took me and the local driver I had teamed up with 18 hours to drive, dig and winch our way through to the town of Kumba.
