Typical African ferry ⛴ to cross this river. Those men make some money while transporting vehicles 🚗 from one side of the river to the other one. It’s hard work, but they were motivated and always up for a chat.

Even after one year in Africa we were surprised to see this Nigerian guy transporting a sofa on his motorcycle 🏍. The road was steep and difficult to drive, but in Africa nothing is impossible unless you try it 😎

Before reaching the Mambilla Plateau in the northwest of Nigeria 🇳🇬, we had to climb a tough pass ⛰. An altitude difference of around 1‘500 m was definitely a challenge. All the people in the vehicles 🚗 were really excited to see us and motivated us to reach the top!

There are many river crossings like this in west Africa. Especially during the wet season, those rivers can be deep. This one was more than 1 m deep and we had to carry all our equipment to the other side.

The interesting thing with those water crossings is, that you never know how deep they are gonna be. This one was very deep and our shoes 👠 got completely wet.

In Nigeria 🇳🇬, we crossed the river Niger for the second time. The first time was in Guinea 🇬🇳, where we could cross the small river without any bridge.
With 4184 km it’s the third longest river in Africa and passes five countries on its way to the ocean 🌊
