>>2862131>we're glad to see you back safe. You're one of the few genuine people on here that are not maladaptive daydreamers.Thanks, and glad to be back.
>>2860894> Are there established trails? nope. Hiking was roads in national parks or paths between villages, or to spots in fields, along the river and such.
>Is this something people do?nope. You are more likely to meet some expats or cross country people in their cars cruising through, stopping only at establish bungalows or some resort.
I met one guy who traveled and camped like I did and he did it only for two weeks before getting seriously ill and turning his trip around again and head home early.
>>2860817I hated much while I was there, but I am not someone who needs to feel happy every moment to feel its a worthy experience; quite the opposite actually.
I like that I didn't enjoy much of my journey and even hated some moments and people, but I like it even more now that it's an accomplished and finished experience.
>>2860453>That bicycle I borrowed from a dude I stayed with in AtarAh, that's in Mauritania. I remember it looking very deserty still, which surprised me.
>I usually hike in an area for 2-3 days then hitchhike or hop on transport to the next placeExactly my way as well, but usually I couldn't choose if I'd hitchhike, transport or get ripped off by a biker who'd take me across the border, and instead just accepted what option even was available then and there.
>I almost died of dehydration hiking Niokola-Koba in March, that's why I wanted to go back in July, i.e. at peak rainy season.That sounds wild. Did you get saved or simply find a way to recover after getting yourself in that mess? I came close to dying in a mini bus crash in Gambia, and afterwards just begged that if I die in Africa, it won't be a death I could easily also find in Europe, but instead something more adventurous like dying of dehydration I guess.
I'd love to go sneak into Niokola-Koba park, but never dare going solo.
