In a Facebook video, Richard explained that he had not started the journey with the team in Accra. He joined them in Turkey and now had to leave them in Dubai.

“My participation in the expedition has come to an end. As usual, when a client says jump I can only respond how high. So I’m leaving the team in Dubai. I joined them in Turkey, then Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. It’s been a fascinating trip. My only regret is we didn’t spend as much time in the various countries that we drove through.”

This leaves the team with four members since one person was left behind in Germany after his passport was stolen in Krefeld.

Richard Anim also shared parts of their itinerary from Dubai to other countries and back to Accra.

“We probably have about another two weeks break then we do the South Africa leg. The cars are being shipped to Mombasa and then on to Nairobi. The plan is to pick the cars in Nairobi and head down through Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, then climb back up to West Africa.”

It is unclear if Richard planned to join the team himself for the second Africa leg of the trip.

“We look forward to engaging in the next chapter of the Wanderlust 30,000 expedition,” he said.

It is better to taste a delicious pudding (or banku + tilapia) and live off those memories for life than not to taste it at all. Enjoy your next leg of money making😊”
