A group of 13 Ghanaians are embarking on a bold and adventurous 10,000km road trip from Accra to London.
Undertaking such a long road trip requires meticulous planning, as it involves navigating through different terrains, diverse climates, and crossing international borders with varying regulations. The travelers would need to ensure they have all the necessary documents, visas, and permissions to cross each country.
Their anticipated arrival in London is scheduled for either Sunday, August 6, or Monday, August 7, 2023, signifying a momentous achievement for the team.
During an exclusive interview on Accra-based Peace FM, Saka, a distinguished member of the team, spoke from Spain and divulged their drive behind undertaking this remarkable expedition.
