    • Continent ToursOperator•Written March 2026

  • E

    Evelyn

    Asked on April 26th, 2024

    I have an interest to do this trip as part of some other travel in the region. I am a solo traveller but the trip information states that a minimum of 2 people is required. How do I find out which trips are running? Mauritania is a difficult place to get to so whilst I have flexibility over dates, I would not be wanting to confirm long haul flights within 30 days of departure.

  • H

    Harry

    Asked on March 29th, 2023

    Are the dates guaranteed or is it dependent on having enough people sign up? Is there a single supplement? Is the accommodation in the same hotel each evening?

    Accommodation
    Group size
    Single supplement
    • Continent ToursOperator•Written March 2023

      The tour is a go from 2 persons and cost is based on 2 persons sharing a room. Accommodation changes according to the destinations to be visited. For example, one way drive Nouakchott - Chinguitty takes about 7 hours. So the overnight on that day would be in Chinguitty.

    • H

      Harry

      Traveler•Written March 2023

      How likely is it that a tour makes (enough people sign up)? Is the accommodation in Chinguitty at a hotel? Are ALL nights at hotels (no camping)?
