Snow and Curt are facing their toughest challenge yet on the West Africa overlanding route! After almost six years of incredible global travels in their Mercedes Sprinter van, this experienced duo decided to tackle the infamous Banyo Border Crossing – a legendary (and brutal!) 100km stretch of dirt, mud, and rocks winding through the mountains from Nigeria to Cameroon.
For a long time, Banyo was the only option, as the more developed EKOK border region was deemed too dangerous for tourists and remained closed. But recently, EKOK reopened... with a catch: mandatory armed military escorts and strict control. For Snow and Curt, navigating a potential war zone didn't feel right. So, they bravely (or perhaps foolishly? ) chose the legendary Banyo route.
Setting off at dawn, palms sweating and their van packed for a week of potential mishaps, they quickly realized they might have made a HUGE mistake. All their research and planning couldn't prepare them for the relentless terrain. For the first time in six years of van life, Snow and Curt face a terrifying reality: there's a real chance their beloved tiny home on wheels might not survive this crossing. Join them for a raw and intense look at fear, resilience, and the unpredictable nature of overland travel. Will they make it through? Hit play to find out!
