LIBERIA: The HIGHEST MOUNTAINS of West Africa! Nimba Mountain motorcycle expedition // Eps 13

Three countries meet on top of a mountain - one of the highest located places in all of west africa. This journey will not only bring us to an interesting junction - but will take us to the heart of westafrica. Join the motorcycle expedition from the mining town Yekepa in Liberia to the top of Nimba mountain, where Liberia, Guinea and Cote D’Ivoire meet.



The area around Yekepa is highly used for mining and more or less owned by an indian steel company - including gated roads. There is only one hotel to stay as a foreigner and the only place to find food is the canteen of the workers of the mines.



To be able to ride to the top of Mount Nimba, we asked advice of the rangers of Nimba Nature Reserve who showed us the way up the small and steep trails. Follow our motorcycle expedition to the highest mountain range of west africa - and join our ride to a breathtaking blue lake and abandonned steel factory.
