SLIDESHOWS
London to Timbuktu via Tunisia, Algeria, across the Sahara desert to Mali and the Adrar des Iforas mountains.
Using Toyota Landcruisers - the great and preferred mechanical beasts of the Sahara - we will make the fabled journey “from here to Timbuktu”.
Route: across France to Marseilles, ferry to Tunis and straight across Tunisia to Algeria. At the border we pick up an Algerian guide who will accompany us on a great desert exploration. Algeria has some of the most astounding Saharan landscapes which we will explore - the Hoggar mountains, the area around Djanet and on to Tamanghasset.
We will then go south to the border with Mali and on to Aguelhoc and the Adrar Des Iforas mountains and a community of Tuaregs with whom I have a strong affiliation before completing our journey at the edge of the Sahara, the river Niger and the fabled city of Timbuktu.
On the 20th of Dec you can join my xmas Tuareg Festival Safari Tour for Xmas festivities, a camel trek and the Festival of Camels or the Festival Ténéré over New Year.
