📍 We're in Marrakech — Sahara crossing in 2 days!

The medina is absolutely incredible. We've been filming non-stop — the colours, the sounds, the food. Tomorrow we head to Ouarzazate for a Sahara day trip, then we begin the long crossing into Mauritania. Follow the live stream tonight at 18:00 BST for the night market walk!

The Sahara crossing is going to be legendary content. Make sure you capture the stars at night — no light pollution out there!

What this journey means to second-generation Nigerians like me

I was born in Birmingham but grew up hearing stories about Nigeria from my parents. Watching this journey is the closest I've felt to "home" even though I've never been. There's something deeply emotional about seeing the route from London — where I live — all the way to Lagos. Anyone else feel this way?

Watching from Nigeria — the anticipation is REAL

We're here in Nigeria waiting for you to arrive! The whole street knows about this journey. My mum has been watching every stream. When you cross the border into Nigeria it's going to be the biggest celebration. We're ready for you! 🇳🇬🎉

The kente pattern on this site — a beautiful touch 🌍

I noticed the kente-inspired geometric patterns used throughout the site design. It's such a thoughtful nod to West African textile heritage. These patterns carry deep meaning in Ghanaian and broader West African culture. Love seeing African aesthetics celebrated in digital spaces.

Question: How are you handling visas for all these countries?

I've always wanted to do an overland trip through West Africa but the visa situation seems incredibly complex. How did you plan the visa route? Did you get them all in advance or at the border? Any tips for others who want to do this?
