Fortunately, there are experienced travellers who have done these sorts of trips in the past.
The various roads in Africa sometimes form together to make the Trans-African Highway Network. When possible, using these would be optimal as they’d be more serviced, more frequented, better condition roads, and arguably safer.
You’d be joining Route 1 initially, down to Dakar. A mainly coastal route continuing down the Atlantic coast of North-West Africa; substantially completeTAH 1 joins with TAH 7 to form an additional north-south route around the western extremity of the continent.
You’d be continuing on this TAH 7 route, also known as the Trans–West African Coastal Road, which is about 80% complete. Roads still exist in the incomplete stages, just not necessarily of highway standard.
This should take you all around to Togo.
The other option is Route 2 down through the desert. This is probably faster and would have less border problems – except for one big one – the Algeria / Morocco border is currently closed. This leaves you with the only realistic option being to head down the afore-mentioned coastal route.
