Mauritania Goodwill Expedition

<p>On our adventure Mauritania tours, you will encounter nomadic settlements under Goat hair tents and transhuman villages mainly of pastors and camel herders. You will also visit Imragen villages and hear about the symbiotic existence of fishermen and dolphins. Mauritania's capital, Nouakchott, creates an exciting starting point for our seven-day expedition exploring natural sites and lagoons with the bird species of Banc d’Arguin National Park and monk seals at Cap Blanc creating in contrast to the arid desert with wildlife watching encounters way off the traditional stomping ground of binocular wielding twitchers.</p> <p>This Mauritania goodwill trip starts from Nouakchott across vast swathes of desert, visits the ancient caravan terminal Trans-Sahara trade at Chinguetti and Ouadane, drives along the natural and little-visited coastline, and then heads off on a desert expedition into the Sahara. Exploring Mauritania landscapes and cultural landmarks, you’ll travel overland past dunes, salt swamps, and mountains to Chinguetti. This almost deserted stone town was once the capital of the Moorish Empire and still holds a library with a fascinating collection of ancient books and manuscripts. On this goodwill trip to Mauritania, we will mingle with local NGOs so you can share your knowledge and advice as a valuable contribution. </p> <p>The Atlantic shoreline around Nouadhibou is devastatingly beautiful, with the wrecks of ships catching the imagination of pioneers of another era before heading inland towards the world’s third-largest monolithic site, Ben Amera, which casts shade over the desert like a gigantic ancient sun clock. Welcome to our active Mauritania tours scheduled for 20225 and 2026.</p>
