Executive Summary

A trans-continental adventure with a purpose

Founded by Boubacar Barry — Guinean-born entrepreneur, UK resident, and creator of Project Jenny — the UK2WestAfrica Adventure Challenge unites Europe and West Africa through responsible adventure tourism.

What began as an 8.3-metre solo maritime voyage from the United Kingdom to Guinea now scales into a fully organised motorcycle expedition — bringing together riders, cultures, brands and communities across 8 countries.

Our mission is fivefold: Adventure · Tourism · Road Safety · International Cooperation · Economic Development.
