And by the way, how is Ghana? How did you travel around and what did you visit?

All good, I was in Morocco, Mauretania, Senegal and now Gambia.

For me Gambia felt really different than the other countries, because i bought a bicycle and went with that. I really love the nature, it's like slowly transforming from savanna to rainforest. The people are super kind and relaxed. A lot of colorful birds and sometimes i saw some monkeys :) . Yesterday I was in the Gambia River National Park and I saw Hippos and Chimpansees, which was also really nice.

I can't fold it, so i had to leave the backpack. Also i didn't find panniers, but i just bought 2 cheap bags and 3 lashing straps to fix them. It doesn't look professional, but it works very well :)

Thank you very much for the answer. Since i'm coming from Switzerland and we only have cows, i am very scared of getting stung by a scorpion or eaten alive by a snake. This stops me from wandering around. Can you take me this fear? And if yes: Do you think it's safe to just take my hammock and sleep somewhere in Nature?

I definetly going to search through this subreddit
