·48 min·1 clip

River Gambia National Park was really beautiful and one of the highlights of the entire region for us.

Gunnar Garfuss and Jackie Kunz detail their ambitious overland journey through seven West African countries using public transport. Beginning in Senegal and aiming for Ivory Coast, they encountered transportation realities (cramped minibuses), health challenges (illnesses and vehicle breakdowns), and cultural immersion opportunities. Highlights included River Gambia National Park's chimpanzee encounters and Wassu's ancient stone monuments. The episode provides honest assessment of West Africa travel logistics, visa requirements, and the physical demands of slow overland travel.
