We shift our attention to Tourism, which has always been one of Africa’s greatest storytellers, carrying our landscapes, cultures, and histories across borders long before policy ever did.

But in a continent where visas, long queues, and rigid borders still make travel difficult, the simple act of moving from one African country to another becomes a powerful statement. It becomes advocacy.

This morning, on Daybreak West Africa, we explore how tourism itself can champion a Borderless Africa, opening pathways for trade, cultural exchange, and stronger regional ties through the freedom of movement.

On the sidelines of the just-concluded High-level Influencers’ Forum on Borderless Africa, organised by Africans Rising in Addis Ababa, WADR caught up with Toke Fatoki, a Nigerian overland traveller whose journeys across the continent have become a powerful call for easier mobility and deeper connections among African nations.

She brings her firsthand experiences, the challenges, the beauty, and the possibility of a continent that welcomes its own people.
