The journey from London to Lagos by car is expected to take Pelumi through 15 countries before she arrives at her destination.

She wrote on TikTok:

"Crossing the border into Mauritania today, and wow, what an adventure! Land border crossings are no joke."

She went on to advise those crossing land borders on what to do to avoid delays. She said:

"Arrive early allows you to beat the crowds and prevent late-night drives! Know the rules and research beforehand where to be and how many posts you need to visit. Make friends. A friendly chat with an officer saved me more than three hours! When another officer told me to join the scanning queue he told him to let me go because we had spoken before. Play dumb. Sometimes, acting a bit clueless helps. You're knowledgeable, but let them feel helpful. Check your documents- Have everything in order and double-check; in fact triple check your stamps before walking away."
