Oct 6 conversation on WhatsApp

    7pm
    Hi, I'm Chris Uhlik. My friend Leonid Adotey Brown Maclean from Ghana told me about AIS. 
    I reached out to you via my wife's Instagram account. 
    I look forward to joining your AIS 2025 trip. 
    Where can I find information like the dates, approximate route, etc?

    11:30pm
    Hi Chris. 
    Good to hear.
    
  

Guess about day-by-day itinerary

Actual Stays and Routes

    11:32 PM
    Wow, that looks amazing.
    I'd like to learn a bit more about your group. Are you a commercial touring company, group of friends riding together, charitable organization, ...?
    Do you have dates for the ride?
    I'll also need to arrange a bike.  Ideally I could rent from someone or some company you recommend.  But I could also buy a bike if I could find a way to keep it in Ghana for future visits.
    11:35 PM we began a phone call
  

• Event always begins on Jan 10
• This ride is 14 days, round trip to Senegal Dakar and back to Accra
• Renting bikes is difficult, he can buy a bike for me, Tènèrè 700 is ideal
• Runs a motorcycle training school called Gear Shift Academy
• AIS organizer is a guy going by the name MOTOCHECKER, Daniel Ashrifie --- WhatsApp conversation above
• Oct 17, he found me a Yamaha Tènèrè 700 for $7,500 USD

Travel Requirements

Visas

The ECOWAS Free Movement of Persons protocol is theoretically implemented, but in practice, is not reliable yet. This should eventually allow visa-free movement between member countries for 90 days, for holders of an ECOWAS Passport (available only to member states' citizens).

Currency

How to pay

Recent Financial History

Dollarization is when the country begins to recognize USD as legal tender alongside or in place of its domestic currency. This occurs when the local currency has become unstable and begun to lose its usefulness as a medium of exchange for market transactions. The inflation in 2022 started / was-caused-by the trend towards USD in Ghana.
Dollarization of Ghana proposals are being floated to make USD legal tender in Ghana. The dollar is already de facto the tender for buying motorcycles, real-estate, school tuition, and other major purchases. It seems that hotels also set their prices in dollars.

The former French Colonies use a unified West African CFA (African Financial Community) franc tied to the Euro, about 600 CFA : $1. Also abbreviated XOF and F.CFA. This includes Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal, and Côte d'Ivoire. They hope to merge the CFA into a new pan-African, common currency called the eco analagous to the euro, but that hasn't happened yet.

The West African Economic and Monetary Union WAEMU also known as UEMOA contains 8 countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Togo.

Security and Social Instability Warnings

Côte d’Ivoire still faces threats from violent extremist groups in the region. These groups are active across the borders of Burkina Faso and Mali. Côte d’Ivoire is not a base for these groups. Violent extremist groups in the region have stated they will target foreigners and/or countries that participate in counterterrorism efforts. For more information, see our Terrorism page.

Crime is common. Property crime includes burglaries and car theft. Violent crime includes carjacking, armed robberies of homes and streets. Illegal firearms are readily available throughout the country. Banditry and other violent crimes continue. They happen day and night in the countryside. During holidays (including major Muslim and Christian holidays), robberies and opportunistic crimes increase. These crimes include burglaries of cars and homes. Criminals seldom harm victims of street crime if they comply with demands. Assailants have used violence if victims refuse to hand over valuables.

Law enforcement is somewhat effective at deterring crime but lacks adequate resources. Security services often lack radios, guns, and cars. This severely limits their ability to respond. Many gendarmes and police stations outside of Abidjan have one vehicle for the whole precinct. They often get distress calls from the public via cell phone because they lack a centralized dispatch system. Responses to incidents of crime are often slow and generally limited to writing a report. The legal system lacks resources and tools to handle its current cases, and cannot jail criminals according to global standards.

U.S. citizens should be careful when visiting the Abobo, Adjame, Angre, Koumassi, Marcory, and Yopougon districts in Abidjan. They should also be careful in popular night areas, including Plateau, Treichville, and Zone 4.

Always carry identification to minimize the risk of harassment at police checkpoints.

Uniformed police, military, and gendarmes routinely stop vehicles. They do so for traffic violations and security checks. If you find yourself at such a stop, politely present your identification. Police and security officials rarely speak English. Incidents of police or security force harassment or detention of foreigners are rare but do occur. If an officer asks you to pay a bribe, politely refuse and present a photocopy of your U.S. passport, visa, and entry stamp.

There are weapons are left over from the civil war. They are a security threat. Criminals, rogue soldiers, and groups with common political views can exploit them. They pose an ongoing risk to Côte d’Ivoire’s fragile democracy.
Guinea
Reconsider travel to Guinea due to fuel shortages impacting local infrastructure, civil unrest, and health and exercise increased caution in Guinea due to crime.
Avoid demonstrations and crowds.
