MOROCCO MAURITANIA SENEGAL

Departures:

  1. -usually Dec/Jan when the weather is perfect. New Year in Senegal. If you’re a group of 4 passengers, let us know. We can work something out.


Optional: you can also start your journey in Genoa, Italy and travel with us by ferry to Tangiers, Morocco in a 4-berth cabin. For some OverlandDreaming © can start in Europe!

Up to 4 SUV’s in our convoy to West Africa!

  1. -Arrival in Casablanca/Marrakech. Day in Marrakech. Drive to a lonely but “in” Sidi Ifni on the Atlantic. Then it’s  1500 km across Western Sahara to the fundamentally exotic Mauretanian border. Cliffs, beaches, shipwrecks, Saharan loneliness, then bizarre Mauretania. In Morocco we’ll enjoy cafe au lait, mint tea with 2 tons of sugar and feast on tajine.


  1. -100 km after Dakhla we cross the bizarre Morocco/Mauretania border, continue to Nouakchott, take a look at it, including the fish market on the beach about 10 km out of town, smoke a hubble-bubble and enjoy the world’s most stunning beach drive 100 km north of Nouakchott. This is where the Atlantic and the Sahara meet. Gorgeous! On one condition: low tide (ok, no problem) AND no sandstorms. Let’s hope for the best! Then we sail away to the Mauretanian Sahara. Atar, UNESCO’s Chinguetti and above all the cool oases (yes, plural) of Terjit and the surroundings. Nice architecture, refreshing gueltas, palm trees and a Saharan swim.


  1. -Then Atar to Nouakchott, and offroad through the national park full of flamingoes, pelicans and Mauretanian wild boar. We cross the Senegal border and drive to colonial St.Louis.


  1. -In Mauretania we stay in a curious but extremely exotic and photogenic mix of hotel, campground and Turkish pansiyon.  Your own sleeping bag required in Mauretania, please. We provide the super fasr 3 second tents. Yes, really 3 seconds. Last but not least: no alcohol in Mauretania.


  1. -Then it’s 5 days in Senegal: 2 days St.Louis, 1 day in a cute little village on the Atlantic Coast, 2 days in Dakar. St.Louis is an old colonia town with the French Mediterranean feel: cafes, bars, drinks, sad art-deco architecture. Then 250 km across Sub-Saharan and subtropical scenery full of baobabs and friendly faces. In the end the legend: Dakar. Goree  Slave Island, live music, local dudes, babes in colorful African clothes.
