Customer Testimonial

We have been working with West Africa 4X4 (previously Sierra Leone 4X4) since 2011; They have provided us with an outstanding service for both Car Hire and Car Sales in Sierra Leone.

One of the biggest challenges in West Africa is finding a reliable company that can provide a consistently reliable service regardless of the administrative and customer service challenges on the ground.

We vetted a number of companies, and some of the key areas that stood out with West Africa 4X4 were:

Well established business on the ground in Sierra Leone.
Good fleet of available cars.
Based in Sierra Leone and UK; where in the UK there is far great transparency, audit, and governance on companies than in West Africa.
Good knowledge of best value, best fit network (global) for car purchase.
Good understanding of the challenges culturally, politically, and geographically.
Founded with a clear aim to support hands on and on the ground charity work.
Good overall feedback.

Further checks included visiting Philip at home in the UK and getting a great insight into his business model, with its admirable aim of supporting the great charity work that St George Foundation does on the ground.

In total 7 cars have been purchased and delivered to our door in Sierra Leone with the minimum effort on our side.

Finally, and by no means least, West Africa 4X4 provide an excellent after sales service which is simply not available elsewhere in Sierra Leone. Even with all that the terrain throws at us on the ground, we have always been assured and received a comparatively excellent after sales and service when needed.

I can highly recommend this company and Philip, and feel it uniquely brings together a business, charity support, and great service (both customer and repairs) in a way not available elsewhere in Sierra Leone.

The simplest way to buy vehicles fit for Africa but fit for the future with Carbon offset as standard.

JMC Vehicles

The JMC brand from China is not a household name for most of us but alongside JMC is one of the biggest names in the auto industry - Ford, who own a big chunk of JMC in China.

In fact JMC manufacture the Ford Territory, the Transit van, the Torneo van, and the Everest SUV all under the Ford badge.

We have chosen to promote just one vehicle for now – their pick up – the JMC VEGUS.

Among all the vehicles we have seen – if you just need a value for money workhorse we think that this is a real contender.

It shares the Puma engine that has been in the Ford Transit for years, the London taxi and the Land Rover Defender to name a few, so the engine is well tested. The Vegus also shares a Ford Transmission system, Ford suspension so this is not an unknown vehicle really.

Comes with a healthy guarantee and we are having the vehicles made to order so we can request the fuel system can work with the local African fuel quality and you will enjoy a fuel system capable of handling the not so great fuels available in Africa.

Foton Vehicles

The Foton range from China just about covers all the options with a pick up, minibus, SUV plus a host of vehicles from tractors to trucks and buses.

Foton really stand out as the Chinese brand that seems to have had more than other Chinese brands and successfully trading in Australia, New Zealand, most of South America and Asia.

Surprisingly, they are not that Chinese actually…They use Cummins diesel engines, Getrag Ford make the transmissions, Borg Warner make the transfer case and Dana make the axles.

Owners find them good value for money and they will eventually become a worldwide and well-known brand supplying pick-ups, SUVs, mini buses, trucks, tractors and coaches.

Buy them new and they compare in price to many more well-known brands when second hand and come with a healthy guarantee.

At West Africa 4×4 we are delighted to be able to supply them and see them as a great option if you need a vehicle for a project and you don’t have a huge budget.

At the moment we are working on each order on a case by case system and very happy to provide a live quote for your particular location and need, so feel free to ask the questions you have.

Approved Dealership Vehicles

Buying a car approved by a main dealership has to be the simplest way to buy a top quality car with confidence - fit for Africa.

A transparent off the shelf transaction, on a budget, we are combining maximum quality with the confidence and expectations associated with some of the most trustworthy names the industry.

It minimises exposure for your organisation, saves time and resources, and knowing that both car and dealership are excellent you can confidently expect the car to have a good working life ahead. The cars are in stock and West Africa 4X4 can deliver them to you at a more cost effective rate than arranging it yourself.

Before being presented by a main dealership, all the vehicles offered were carefully chosen to start with and have passed a thorough test and servicing procedure. Looking great and knowing they are mechanically sound, you really can just choose the one you want and place your order. We will then secure it for you, sort the paperwork, the shipping, and have them delivered to West Africa.

West Africa 4X4 is committed to working at the highest ethical and quality standards and the principal of having vehicles thoroughly examined means we don’t expect unwelcome surprises later on. When you ‘Browse all vehicles’ you will see others professionally vetted and scored – note that we only offer the ones that scored 5/5 mechanically, but for peace of mind and about $150 you are welcome to have a vehicle retested.

Regarding commercial vehicles the procedure is slightly different by providing a final vetting (to the same standards) as part of the purchase procedure.
