How to manage more than 500 Kilometers of Sand

Stuck in clay
We got stuck in clay. It took us 9 hours to liberate our ford transit bus HIDALGO.
More on www.weltleben.at - BILDER --> Tschad or in DAILY --> 30. June - 15. July 2005
even hard to lift with a jack-all (4 tons)
It took us several atempts to lift the car, because the clay sucks. Me and Gisi liftet together the car.
Military or Bandits???

Sandgames

In the beginning they behaved like Bandits and have been quite rude to us. We kept smiling and after some minutes the situation changed. Then everybody from the Nigerian army wanted us to take pictures... That's africa :-) Stay calm and you are safe.

Pros:"Much safer than we expected - the nomads invite you"
Cons:"there is even no pad. get right through the sandunes"
In A Nutshell:"wild, lonley, friendly and frightened nomads - it's nice to chat with them!"
