overland expedition trips

Welcome to Nomadic Road

We curate motoring expeditions to the far ends of our planet, it’s not your usual holiday, the urge to explore takes us to the farthest reaches.

Pioneering new roads may seem like a thing of the past. With digital traveltech at our fingertips, adventures are redefined in our age to give us a sense of control. Yet there are remote lands on this earth that invite us to surrender what is “known”, to explore the uncharted, — and that’s where we come in. ‍ With Nomadic Road, you’ll embark on overland motoring expeditions to places never imagined in ways never thought possible. Every journey of ours is unscripted. Think vast expanses of driest deserts, tallest mountains, deepest canyons, largest glaciers, impenetrable jungles - where mother nature has the last word. Live a story you’ve been wanting to tell the world.

Designed for intrepid explorers just like YOU!

See it to believe it.

Our Complete Expedition Portfolio

“A travel company that intends to open up the most remote corners of the world with obsessively planned driving expeditions."

“Jaw-dropping overland journeys for guests from all around the world… allowed us to see in ways we wouldn’t have been able to otherwise.”

“It feels liberating, allowing us to feel the thrill of discovery first rather than second-hand, as you would as a passenger.”

“For a motoring expedition that goes beyond the guidebook, Nomadic Road delivers.”

Explorer's Perspective

“Going on this trip, you are allowed to take a little bit of risk, something very different, but you actually feel very comfortable all the time. Because there is always someone to help you in each type of situation. So, it’s like taking all the risk, but completely calm while taking off, which is the best.”

Katie , New York, Mongolia Expedition 2019

“There was a moment during the expedition – endless white on my right and left. That’s the moment I felt, I’m a single small point in this whole universe."

Arda , Istanbul, Lake Baikal Expedition 2022

“The worst moment was not having control over time. Madagascar’s RN5 is not a forgiving road, and a lot can happen there. So, I have taken something positive out of it. Yes, sometimes it’s good to not have control of time. It’s nice to let go and go with the flow.”

Natasha , Delhi, Madagascar Expedition 2022

You are doing things yourselves and not being told by somebody to do this or do that. It’s all about you. You are experiencing it yourselves. It’s unbelievable. It’s totally a different experience.

Deepak , Bombay, Tibet Expedition 2018.

I think one must accept that all adventure trips would have their share of problems. And many of them are unexpected. Looking for a pond in the middle of nowhere and also being warned that there could be crocodiles in it, and we are camping next to it. That was an out of sight experience.

Ashlyn , Dubai, Zambezi Meander Expedition 2021

My advice for those who wish to embark on a journey with Nomadic Road. You should be aware that it’s an experience. It’s not a holiday. It’s really something else. Consider it before you go. But go. Just do it.

Matthijs , Amsterdam, Mongolia Expedition 2022.

The nomadic road Experience

Skin in the game.

Be ready to expect the unexpected during an expedition. Taking the brunt of  a sandstorm,  hailstorm, snowstorm or even a heavy downpour is just one of the many ways you’ll come face to face with mother nature. Keep in mind that this is an expedition and not your usual holiday. You need to be mentally ready to face these challenges which constitute a holistic experience. Be rest assured, our experienced expedition team will be watching you from a distance and will always be there whenever needed.

Keep in mind that this is an expedition and not your usual holiday. You need to be mentally ready to face these challenges which constitute a holistic experience. Be rest assured, our experienced expedition team will be watching you from a distance and will always be there whenever needed.

When we say we take you to remote places, it entails hot deserts, wet jungles, tall mountains, cold glaciers, or wherever nature is at its best. You can’t script this level of reality. Our expedition programs are designed in such a way that we leave our comfort zones and head out in the back of beyond. We orchestrate eye-opening journeys, with our exclusive insights and access to some of the most uncharted places on Earth. This is as real as ‘real’ can get.

Our expeditions are designed with curious and intelligent people in mind. With us, you’ll see a destination in a different light and discover things you won’t find out about any other way. If you are someone who is open to travel in a niche group of explorers from across the globe, then our Signature Expeditions should be right up your alley. Or if you are someone who prefers to keep things to yourself or prefer to travel in your own natural group, then our Custom Expeditions should be your choice.

DRAGOMAN OVERLAND EXPEDITIONS

What is overlanding.

Overlanding with Dragoman is all about taking the road less travelled in a custom-built overland expedition vehicle with a group of up to 24 travellers of all ages and nationalities. Our overland tours move at a relaxed pace and visit the remote areas as well as the highlights of all the countries we travel through. Overland travel affords you the time to really immerse yourself in the culture of the local communities we visit and gives you the opportunity to truly explore off the beaten track destinations. Our overland expeditions may sometimes take you out of your comfort zone and usually involve an element of wild camping but we believe it is these experiences that make overlanding so rewarding. So if you are looking for a unique adventure shared with a group of like- minded travellers on a journey of a lifetime then an overland expedition may be the trip for you because with overlanding it’s all about the journey, not just the destination!

INSPIRATIONAL JOURNEYS

On every overland journey with Dragoman you’ll visit all the must-see highlights in the region, be it the iconic Taj Mahal, the incredible ruins of Machu Picchu, the mighty Victoria Falls, or the phenomenal Great Wall of China! However, by travelling in one of our purpose-built overland trucks, we’ll also get you well off the beaten track and into the heart of every country we travel to, so you can really get under the skin of the places you’re visiting. You may stay as guests of local Kyrgyz families in their yurts, trek through dense Ugandan jungle in search of endangered mountain gorillas, or meet inquisitive tribes in the remote villages of West Africa. For many of our travellers these unique experiences are often the most memorable parts of their overland adventures and simply life-changing.

THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT

We have a huge range of overland trips from 15 days through to 326 days! If you are looking for a short break away, maybe try one of our shorter overland tours in areas such as Iceland, East Africa, Arabia or South America. These trips are designed to fit into more restricted vacation allowances for those that still want to have an adventurous holiday.

If you’re looking for a truly epic journey you could travel overland with Dragoman for several months on one of our extended routes such as Istanbul to Beijing, Cape Town to Cairo or Cartagena to Rio de Janeiro. Whatever the trip, we take time to enjoy the journey and the destinations en-route. This is slow travel at its very best.

FREEDOM TO GET OFF THE BEATEN TRACK

Our overland journeys are designed to offer freedom and many of our routes have a large degree of flexibility rather than a strict hour-by-hour or even day-by-day itinerary. As we have our own vehicle we are generally unrestricted in our ability to alter the schedule according to local circumstances.

Our custom-made overland vehicles also allow us to get off the tarmac and take the road less travelled. It may be a journey across the challenging high altitude dirt-roads of the Bolivian Altiplano, taking on the vast off-roading potential of Mongolia, or perhaps a side trip across the desert to a San village in Namibia. This ability to go beyond the standard tourist infrastructure is a major highlight of overland travel.

SHARED GROUP EXPERIENCES

Travelling overland is all about sharing a great experience with like-minded people and your companions are as much part of the adventure as the areas you are travelling through. Our groups often have people of many different ages and nationalities with a broad-minded attitude to the world around them. Many of our passengers are solo travellers who want to enjoy the benefits of group travel as well as have the freedom to be alone whenever they like. Lifelong friendships are forged on these journeys.

BE AS ACTIVE AS YOU WANT TO BE

These are not just sightseeing tours, there are many different activities for you to enjoy along the way. For instance, one day you may be trekking through the Andes, the next learning to cook in a Quechuan village, and the next white-water rafting in the Sacred Valley. Should you prefer not to take part in any activities that is absolutely fine, many of our travellers just enjoy the relaxation aspect to our tours. Our itineraries are designed for you to have the free time to be as active or inactive as you like.

INVOLVE YOURSELF

On an overland trip you’re more than just a passenger, you’re part of a team! Everyone on the journey will get involved to help with setting up camp, pitching tents, shopping for food and cooking. There are other group responsibilities that are part of the overlanding lifestyle, such as collecting water and firewood, loading luggage and helping to keep the truck clean and tidy.

This idea of pitching in as a group has always been an intrinsic part of overlanding. Generations of overlanders have revelled in the experience of being part of an adventure, rather than just a passenger on a tour.

LOCAL INTERACTION AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

We always try to involve the local communities on our trips. You might find yourself staying in a traditional Quechua village in Peru, learning to cook Indian food in Darjeeling, riding horses with Kyrgyz shepherds or helping out at a school in Ghana. Along with planned local community activities there will also always be opportunities for you to freely meet the locals on all of our trips.

OUR OVERLAND CREW

Our well trained tour leaders and drivers are passionate about overland travel and will ensure your journey is both safe and enjoyable.

You will have a crew of 1 tour leader and 1 driver on all our tours. In East Africa we sometimes also have a cook to make sure you can relax and enjoy the wildlife as much as possible. On some tours we may also have a cameraman who is there to help market our tours and update our social media.

Your tour leader will be in charge of routes, itineraries, food and accommodation and will ensure the smooth running of the tour.

Your driver will drive and maintain the vehicle to a high standard to ensure your safety at all times.

Overland Adventure

Overland trips in Africa, Central Asia and South America on our own purpose built overlanding vehicles. Africa trips are mostly camping, while in South America and Central Asia we spend time both camping and staying in hostels or simple hotels. When camping, we generally stay at campsites with the occasional wild camp.

Overland Adventures are run on a participatory basis – you’ll be involved in the day to day running of the trip and have fun helping to cook for the group. Expect to sometimes get dusty and dishevelled and not to be able to have hot showers every night. Groups of up to 24 people are led by two Oasis crew.

How to Get Started Overlanding – Your Guide to Adventure on the Open Road!

Overlanding is a growing trend among outdoor enthusiasts seeking adventure, exploration, and the freedom of the open road. It's about self-reliant travel to remote destinations where the journey is the primary goal. But if you’re a beginner, knowing how to get started can be daunting. Luckily, you’ve come to the right place! This complete guide will help you embark on your first overland adventure with confidence.

Read on and discover now!

First Things First, What Does Overlanding Really Mean?

Overlanding is more than just camping or off-roading; it's a lifestyle that combines both, aiming to sustain longer-term travel in an off-grid setting. It’s a chance to disconnect from daily life and connect with nature, often lasting several days, weeks, or even months.

Then, How to Get Started Overlanding? Learn 7 Must-Know Tips

You're ready to dive into Overlanding, but not sure where to begin? Don't worry; the secret to a successful journey lies in your preparation. Let's explore the 7 key things to help you get started on your overlanding trip. Keep these in mind, and you'll be on the path to becoming an Overlanding pro.

1. Choose the Right Vehicle

Your choice of vehicle will significantly impact your overlanding experience. While there's no one-size-fits-all answer, here are some key considerations for choosing the best overlanding vehicle:

Reliability: Choose an overlanding vehicle known for its reliability and endurance, such as the Jeep Wrangler, Toyota Tacoma, or 4Runner. These machines are tough, with a proven track record for tackling rough terrain and going the distance without breaking a sweat.

Capability: Look for a vehicle with four-wheel drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) systems, offering high clearance and strong off-road performance.

Space: Ensure there is enough room for passengers, gear, and any modifications you may want to add.

Community Support: Opt for Overlanding vehicles that have robust community support where you can get advice and find parts easily.

2. Vehicle Preparation and Modifications

Besides selecting the right vehicle, you'll need to make some mods before hitting the trails. Here’s what to focus on:

Tires: Invest in quality all-terrain or mud-terrain tires.

Protection: Install skid plates and rock sliders to protect your vehicle's underbody.

Recovery Gear: Equip your vehicle with a winch, recovery straps, and traction mats for emergencies.

Roof Rack: Install a sturdy roof rack to expand your storage options.

Suspension: Upgrade your suspension to handle additional weight and rough terrain.

3. Pack Essential Gear and Equipment

Packing the right overlanding gear is crucial for a successful trip. The must-have gear for overland camping includes:

Shelter: A rooftop tent, ground tent, or vehicle conversion for sleeping.

Navigation: A GPS unit and paper maps for backcountry navigation.

Water: Use portable water containers and filtration systems for drinking and cooking.

Cooking:   A heavy-duty overlanding fridge   to keep your food fresh and your drinks nice and cold, a portable stove, utensils, and cookware for meal prep. 

Power: Equip your overland vehicle with dual battery systems or   portable power stations , and bring along   portable solar panels   to keep essential electronics charged.

Tools and Spares: Include basic tools, a tire repair kit, and spare parts for field repairs.

4. Plan Your Trip

A well-planned route can make your overland adventure much smoother. Here are several tips on how to plan an overland trip:

Research Destinations: Consider climate, terrain, and the level of difficulty.

Plot Your Route: Use mapping software to plot your course and identify points of interest.

Check Regulations: Know the rules for land use and camping in the areas you'll visit.

Prepare for Emergencies: Plan exit strategies, and carry a first aid kit and an emergency locator beacon.

5. Skills and Knowledge

To ensure your safety and enjoyment on an overland trip, make sure you are equipped with the necessary skills.

Off-Road Driving: Learn techniques for different terrains like sand, mud, and rocks.

Navigation: Practice using a GPS and reading topographic maps.

Vehicle Maintenance: Familiarize yourself with basic vehicle repairs and maintenance.

Camp Craft: Become adept at setting up camp, cooking outdoors, and managing waste.

6. Join the Overlanding Community

Connecting with fellow Overlanders can enhance your experience:

Forums and Social Media: Join online communities such as the   Overland Bound Forum ,   Expedition Portal Forum , and   Overland Sphere Forum   to share tips and stories.

Clubs and Meetups: Participate in events to learn from experienced overlanders and make new friends.

Training and Courses: Enroll in Overlanding courses online to learn from professionals.

7. Overcome Challenges

You will face challenges on the road. But, preparation helps you overcome them:

Weather: Stay updated with forecasts and pack appropriate clothing and gear.

Breakdowns: Carry a comprehensive tool kit, spares, and know-how to use them.

• Isolation: Be prepared for limited communication and practice self-reliance.

Responsible Overlanding

As overlanders, we have a responsibility to protect the environment:

Leave No Trace: Minimize your impact by following Leave No Trace principles.

Responsible Land Use: Stick to designated trails and respect wildlife habitats.

Sustainability: Consider eco-friendly practices like solar power and biodegradable products.

Final Thoughts

Overlanding offers a killer chance to explore, uncover new sights, and create unforgettable memories. By carefully selecting your vehicle, packing essential gear, and connecting with the incredible overlanding community—as well as applying more tips like those we mentioned earlier—you're well on your way to starting an adventure that could change the way you see the world. Remember, overlanding is a continuous learning experience, so embrace each challenge as an opportunity to grow.

Voyager Backcountry Trailer

From the initial concept of what would become the Voyager overland trailer and the flagship product of Xpedition Trailers, it was all about rethinking the entire experience of using a camper trailer in the back country.  Born from decades of exploration in the most extreme off-road environments in nearly every corner of the Rockies, the Voyager trailer will certainly not disappoint.  Whether you are looking to traverse continents, explore where others would consider impossible, bring a new level of comfort and enjoyment to the outdoors, or simply are tired of the tedious packing and unpacking every time you want to get out and enjoy a quick weekend camping trip, the Voyager trailer is for you.  

The Voyager Kitchen Experience

One aspect of this trailer you have to see to believe is the incredible kitchen.  Where nearly every other manufacturer has tried but failed, the slide-out kitchen in the Voyager trailer will absolutely amaze you. Through clever thinking, and bringing a professional chef into the design consultation, the kitchen boasts 100% usefulness in every configuration with absolutely no feature of the kitchen blocking or obstructing another in order to use it.  Also, it is rated for 3-4 adults to be working in the kitchen area AT THE SAME TIME, with ample room.  Just think how nice it will be to prepare meals together without the annoyance of someone (or kids!)  making you have to move what you are working on in order to get to the stove, sink or fridge! 

Who is it for?

 Whether you are looking to traverse continents, explore where others would consider impossible, bring a new level of comfort and enjoyment to the outdoors, or simply are tired of the tedious packing and unpacking every time you want to get out and enjoy a quick weekend camping trip, the Voyager trailer is for you.   

JOURNEY ≥ DESTINATION

2020 was a strange year for everyone. Luckily we had just finished the prototype Voyager Trailer so we decided to take it out...ALL the time. We spent nearly every weekend and many long term trips living out of the trailer with our family of 7, traversing the western US. But we believe that the JOURNEY can be just as fun as the destination, so while most people would stick to the Interstates, we grabbed our GPS and drove every possible back road we could. We cleared Oregon forest service roads of over 40 fallen trees, camped right on the Pacific coast beach, drove over massive boulders in Moab, circumnavigated all of Utah in the dead of winter and whole lot more. Then we came back home, made a few tweaks to the trailer design and began mass production. 

We know you'll love your Voyager Trailer as much as we do, 

and we're excited for you to have similar experiences.

Ambitious ‘Transglobal’ Car Expedition Gets Shut Down in Greenland

A dozen explorers intent on driving special amphibious vehicles to both poles have hit a roadblock — but not before already achieving an unprecedented drive.

The Transglobal Car Expedition seeks to become “the world’s first wheeled surface circumnavigation of the Earth through both geographic poles.” As of early April, the group had already covered its planned route from New York City to the Geographic North Pole via Yellowknife, Canada.

Driving to the North Pole is a bold, risky objective no one had completed before. They followed this up by driving from the North Pole to Greenland — another unprecedented feat.

But the group didn’t get to celebrate its success for long. On the way south to Nuuk, Greenland, they ran into authorities in Station Nord who denied them entry.

Unsafe at any speed

Naalakkersuisut, Greenland’s government, reviewed the team’s credentials to enter Northeast Greenland National Park on Friday. Authorities rejected them on the basis of safety, according to a press release .

“It is too dangerous both for the expedition and for the authorities who would have to rescue the expedition in an emergency situation to travel in the relevant areas in Greenland,” the release said. “Therefore, the expedition cannot legally continue through the National Park.”

The release went on to state the expedition had left Greenland. Transglobal leader Vasily Shakhnovsky, a Russian oil baron who ranks among the world’s richest men , provided details in a message to arctic correspondent Galya Morrell.

“They collected passports and conducted a full-fledged search of cars for weapons. The police insisted that we leave Greenland as soon as possible,” Shakhnovsky wrote. “In the end, everything was agreed. We took off safely [from Station Nord] and landed in Svalbard two hours later.”

Vehicles stuck in limbo

The expulsion from Greenland forced the team to leave its specialized vehicles behind. The six-wheel-drive machines are designed for transport in shipping containers. Transglobal’s original plan would have allowed them to ship the rigs to themselves further along the route. This would have been possible between Nuuk and Iceland, as first planned, but sea ice conditions between Station Nord and Svalbard will prevent it.

The custom-built trucks create “less impact on the ground than a human foot” with their six 51-inch wheels that can run on pressure as low as one pound per square inch. That and their light weight help them churn through sea ice where other vehicles would founder and sink. The team aims to begin the Antarctic leg this November after the Antarctic cold has eased but when the sea ice is near its highest levels.

One expedition sponsor also lamented the setback, based on its scientific objectives. Along its 50,000km route, Transglobal plans to conduct research into sea ice, cosmic radiation, light pollution, and more. The regulatory refusal, for now, dismantles its stated plans to study the Greenland ice sheet.

“This is really unfortunate as it is an expedition doing some ground-breaking work in collaboration with scientists from European universities and legitimate international scientific institutions such as CERN and the Italian space agency,” said Dr. Maxim Artamonov, manager of a Swiss non-profit that sponsors the expedition.

Not giving up on Greenland yet

Northeast Greenland National Park is the world’s largest national park. At 972,000 square kilometers, it covers almost half the island. The park is so remote that fewer people visit it each year than summit Mount Everest, according to Lindblad Expeditions. Permitting is also famously strict.

It’s the latest episode in a saga of minor calamities and regulatory hassles for the Transglobal Car Expedition team. A Ford F-150 customized by Iceland’s Arctic Trucks and owned by Transglobal sank in arctic waters during testing in 2022. The expedition itself has demanded challenging repairs and toilsome navigation.

Several team members have also struggled with credentials along the way. Vasily Yelagin, a Russian mountaineer who designed the amphibious vehicles, had trouble obtaining a Danish visa, Morrell reported. And Canadian authorities denied entry to Alexander Abramov, president of the 7 Summits Club and one of the expedition’s main advocates. 7 Summits said officials revoked Abramov’s “valid visa right at the border without reason.”

After the team regroups in Svalbard, it faces the adventure’s longest but easiest leg: a five-month tour crisscrossing Europe.

And Shakhnovsky and Co. haven’t given up on Greenland yet. In a statement , Transglobal said it is “hopeful” that discussions with Greenland authorities will allow future access to its original north-to-south overland route.

“Words cannot describe the intimate dynamic of an Overland trip…

something I crave every day I am not on a trip or visiting my Overland friends. At Overland, everyone is important and everything that we do is as a team. Such a supportive and collaborative environment is hard to find anywhere else. I am so grateful for the long-lasting connections that I made on my trips!”

The sky is the limit

Families witness the growth born out of an independent experience and age-appropriate challenges.

“In sending our kids to Overland, our goal was for them to become adventurous, acquire independence, confidence and leadership.

“I believe leadership is being able to love and care for all of the team members…

I’ve learned that leadership does not only rest on the “leader.” In a team, we all can and should lead. This summer, I’ll strive to empower and encourage ownership in each and every team member over our summer adventure!”

One woman's solo journey from london to lagos: an interview with pelumi nubi.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Nubi was appointed as a Tourism Ambassador for the State of Lagos upon arrival in Nigeria.

With several thousand kilometers and more than ten countries between them, most travelers transiting from London to Lagos opt for a 6.5-hour plane ride—but Pelumi Nubi isn’t your average traveler. Originally hailing from Nigeria’s largest city and raised in the UK capital, Nubi’s deep affinity for travel led her to launch a truly valiant feat at the end of January 2024: a one-woman road trip spanning from the northern reaches of Europe to the West African coast. While the journey was met with its fair share of obstacles, Nubi reached her destination on April 7th, ultimately cementing her status as the first Black woman to complete a solo road trip from London to Lagos.

For Forbes , Nubi shares some of her toughest challenges and fondest memories throughout the journey, all while highlighting some of her favorite destinations across West Africa.

What first inspired you to take this trip, and what did you have to do to prepare for it?

The inspiration was really for me to connect to places that I considered home. I was born in Lagos and grew up in London in the UK and I’ve always enjoyed exploring, I’ve been to over 80 countries. I really was trying to connect my two homes, London and Lagos. I found there wasn’t enough representation between the overlapped community of people that looked like me and their stories being shared.

I wanted to challenge myself to do something adventurous and show that the impossible can be done, to inspire the next adventurers and inspire some representation in the overland community.

How did people initially react when you told them that you were driving from London to Lagos?

My close family members were very familiar with me doing this kind of adventure. I had driven across Namibia, and also from London to Lake Como, so they weren’t surprised. But strangers were saying it was impossible, that I was crazy. They were mostly curious as to how I would actually do it, so documenting on social media was important to show the step-by-step of how to do it.

WWE Raw Results Winners And Grades On May 13 2024

Samsung’s new feature boost releases to more galaxy phones, the risk of losing big on gamestop and other meme stocks.

What’s the biggest challenge that you faced during the trip?

Being a woman doing this solo, as this kind of exhibition usually has something behind it. Usually when people do this they’ll have a chef, a medic and a whole team behind them. I had to wear this cap the whole time and also be active on social media as well. It was definitely challenging navigating these numerous roads.

But the biggest, biggest challenge for me was being in an almost fatal accident. I had a collision with a truck that had no warning signal, the airbags came out and I thought I was going to be badly hurt. No one wants to have an accident, period, but talking about having an accident where you don’t speak the language and you’re far from home and medical facilities aren’t what you’re used to, it was definitely layered. Having to deal with doing this expedition that a lot of people were invested in and having to pull myself up from such a negative situation and turn it into something positive, I’d say that was a very big challenge.

The border issue was definitely a challenge, especially going more into West Africa. For example, in Liberia I had to sleep there for two days, I was just feeling like it was getting more and more difficult to travel through Africa. I was feeling frustration as someone that was born within the continent being able to fully travel in other places and not feeling much resistance, but coming back home and feeling such a big resistance, that was definitely a bitter pill to swallow. This has been pushing me and motivating me to look into policy change, especially with my new role as Ambassador of Tourism within Lagos State in Nigeria. How can we make our borders better? How can we make a smoother journey for people? How can we make tourism and trade easier between Pan-Africa, really?

What’s one of your most cherished moments that you look back on now after your trip?

The experience of leaving home and the excitement of putting something that I’ve wanted to do for so long. This took over a year of planning to bring it to life.

From driving through the Atlas Mountains to being in total awe of driving through the Sahara Desert to driving through Mauritania (a place that isn’t often explored) to trying Senegalese food and being obsessed with it to enjoying the beach in The Gambia. Back-to-back memories. And being welcomed back home, to have my homecoming received with such grace back in my home country.

Of all the countries that you visited across West Africa, which would you recommend visiting for someone that’s never been to that part of the world?

That’s hard! Of course I’m going to say Nigeria, I’m definitely biased to that. The next I would say is… Sierra Leone. There was just something special about that place. The food was amazing, the culture was amazing, the vibes of it. I spent most of my time in Freetown, it has a lot of similarities to Lagos. Sierra Leone is a place with a nice mix of all of West Africa.

As a Lagos Tourism Ambassador, what are some top activities that you recommend for first-time visitors to the city?

For first-time visitors, definitely experiencing the nightlife in Lagos. People come down in December just to really get into the parties, they’ll go until 5:00 AM. Lagos has a lot of hotspots in terms of where to go and what to do.

Another place I absolutely recommend is La Campagne . Lagos can be kind of hustle and bustle, so if you want to organize a nice weekend away, it’s still in Lagos but has a nice resort kind of vibe. If you want to see the city itself, you can go to Nike Art Gallery , the Danfo resto for cultural food. You can try agege bread with beans inside of it, there’s so much, the list just goes on.

Now that you’ve completed your journey, what’s the next road trip that you’d like to go on?

Lagos to South Africa, I would love to explore regions that I’ve never been to before. But something different, maybe the American Route 66. I would love something like that. But if I’m sticking to the continent, definitely Lagos to South Africa.
