Explore Mauritania: 8-Day Immersive Adventure
September 17, 2024 – September 25, 2024
Join me for an unforgettable 8-day journey through the heart of Mauritania. Experience the magic of desert nights, historical towns, and breathtaking landscapes.
My first journey to Mauritania left an unforgettable mark, and I’ve crafted a return that’s even more immersive. This is your invitation to explore with me.
This trip suits those who seek adventure in its rawest form. We’ll set up camp in the desert, traverse dunes by 4X4, and spend a night on Mauritania’s storied Iron Ore train. Conditions can be challenging: expect daytime heat, evening chills, and simple accommodations. Yet, this journey offers a glimpse into a life that’s refreshingly different, fostering deep connections and stories that feel larger than life.
Ready for an experience that’s as authentic as it is extraordinary? Let’s journey to the heart of the Sahara together.
