The Route

The green line is our tentative route. We will leave Ghana, travel north through Burkina Faso, and spend some time exploring the Dogon in Mali. We'll then head west towards Bamako and out through Senegal to St. Louis on the Atlantic coast. Mauritania will bring us into the true desert, where we will hop a couple of camels through the Western Sahara. (I knew there was a reason my mom made me sit through the unabridged version of 'Lawrence of Arabia') Then we will likely stick close to the coast up through Morocco en route to Spain.
