29-Day Mauritania 4x4 Expedition (Mar 2027)

Provided by Off Road Kangaroo

The expedition departs Tangier on 3 March 2027 in a small convoy of 4x4 vehicles. Across Morocco, the route heads towards Erg Chebbi, Erg Chegaga and the Draa Valley, then continues south through the Western Sahara and Dakhla to the Mauritanian border. Once in Mauritania, the route combines Atlantic beaches, the Banc d'Arguin region and the inland desert of the Adrar. The convoy travels towards Atar, Chinguetti and Ouadane, crosses remote dune fields and visits the Richat Structure, often called the Eye of the Sahara. On the way north, the group camps near the Ben Amera monolith before returning along the iron-ore railway corridor and through Morocco to Tangier. Exact stages may change with weather, border conditions and group progress. The expedition runs from 3 to 31 March 2027. The fee is €4,880 per vehicle, covering the driver and one passenger; this is not a per-person price. Groups usually consist of four to six customer vehicles. The organised package includes route planning and preparation advice, expedition leadership, a support vehicle, technical assistance, guided sand-driving instruction, two hotel nights with breakfast, six campsite nights and camping fees as specified by the organiser. Ferry crossings, fuel, insurance, meals, entry charges and visa fees are not included. Participants need their own capable 4x4 under 3.5 tonnes, suitable spare parts, substantial fuel and water capacity, and the required vehicle checks and documents. Prior sand-driving experience helps, but teamwork and readiness for remote camping are essential. The equipment checklist and current border requirements should be confirmed with the operator before booking.
