Our Mauritania tours will showcase all that this nomadic, tribal land can offer.
A place that once suffered from security issues and foreign office bans, Mauritania is roaring back with its unique blend of wild Atlantic fisherman mixed with traditional desert nomads of the Sahara. This huge and sparsely populated nation has attractions and wonderful towns waiting to be discovered by the intrepid traveler.
Every group tour will ride the famed open top iron ore train which runs from the central mines to the Nouadhibou overnight through the Sahara desert. It’s the trip highlight and one of the all-time great travel experiences!
