Mauritania Sahara

Boutilimit lies 164 km south east of Mauritania's capital of Nouakchott.

TVD-Dakar; Day #6, Trip Mauritania, Ben Amera, Ben Aicha, Terjit Oasis, Atar

A breathtaking 18-day 4x4 Expedition full of adventure toward Dakar in my standard Land Rover Discovery II.

It's a Trans-Saharan adventure that connects two continents: Europe and Africa, and crosses five countries: Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Mauritania & Senegal.

The crossing from Mauritania #11 days provides technical feats with much sand and tracks passages and Senegal #3 days provide a totally different world, as you drive back along the magical beaches of the shores of Mauritania and Senegal.

Although they are small samples, I hope you enjoy this videos as much as we enjoy bringing them to you.

Special thanks to the entire LeirividaTT team who provided this expedition at the highest level.
