A group of 13 Ghanaians have finished an inter-continental road trip from Accra to the UK’s capital city of London, helped part of the way by a mechanic who was the only female member of crew.
Nana Afua Serwaa Adusei told BBC Newsday she tasted the best fish of her life in Mauritania, and would never forget the sight of a nomadic Fulani family travelling on their pack of donkeys.
She says travelling with the Wanderlust team “expanded the boundaries of her expertise” across a range of climatic conditions.
Their journey began on 23 July and ended on 6 August, with the aim of raising funds for rural primary schools in Ghana.
Ms Adusei also hopes the press coverage around their trip will “demystify” this kind of travel for fellow Africans, adding “if others can come from Europe to Africa, we can equally go there”.
