  • We had to stop for a night in the middle of the desert. The way from Nouadhibou to ELMamghar was a bit hard and lots of hard tracks had to be done.
    After our guide got lost, we settlet before light went out completely.

    For more information on which animals you may find here:
    Mammals include Dorcas gazelle Gazella dorcas (V), jackal Canis aureus, fennec fox Fennecus zerda (K), sand fox Vulpes rueppelli (K), sand cat Felis margarita (K), ratel Mellivora capensis and striped hyena Hyaena hyaena.

    Good luck. By the way I slept without tent... ;o)

    Unique Qualities: During the night at least three 4WD buses to NDB passed near us. Before we all went to sleep one of the bus stoped and we could see maybe 30 people inside a small truck. People make a amlost 500km trip 9hours drive in such conditions.
