These Are The 4 Top Car Brands That Were Driven From Accra To London After Kantanka's Refusal

• Ghanaian expedition group, Wanderlust Ghana, drove from Oyibi through 12 countries to get to London
• Eleven men and one woman spent 16 days on the road in foreign countries while promoting digital education in rural areas
• A major aspect of the success of their journey depended on the vehicles that weathered storms and unpredictable terrains to reach the UK

According to the leader of Wanderlust Ghana, Kwabena Peprah, they started with five cars, but only four could get to London. Unfortunately, the G-Wagon was denied entry into the United Kingdom.

Toyota, Ford and a Lexus featured alongside the Mercedes-Benz on the historic journey covering 10,000km between two continents.

These cars are better suited to long-distance, high-speed travel, which helped them reach London safely without any major glitches on the road.

According to Kwabena Peprah, they had to make good with their personal vehicles after Ghanaian brand Kantanka turned them down.
