Travel Africa on motorbike - Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Ivory Coast, Burkina Fasso, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Congo-Brazaville, Angola

Good day to all, in September I plan to make a tour on my motorbike through West Africa (Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Ivory Coast, Burkina Fasso, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Congo-Brazaville, Angola), starting in Antwerp, Belgium.
Obviously I have read already a lot of available literature (Lonely Planets, Rough guides, ...), but I wonder if via here I can get some extra usefull information on the countries I plan to visit, especially for places really worthwile to visit, getting visa and other paperwork, changing political situations, places to stay etcetera.
I know it`s a very broad and open question, but I`m also broad and open when it comes to suggestion, tips etcetera

Look at the trip we made last year: http://www.hcopleidingen.nl/meppelaccra/ meppelaccra.htm (in dutch, but my guess is that that is no problem for you )
There is also a lot of other info on the web: and: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/johnson/Africa.shtml http://site.voila.fr/Bordeaux-Dakar http://thorntree.lonelyplanet.com/thorn/branches.pl?

If you have more questions, feel free to ask; we also met a swiss guy on a motorbike who did europe-dakar, I can get you his emailadress. good luck
