15 November - 12 December 2010
London to Timbuktu across the Sahara
Please send me information about this trip
€2950
Using Toyota Landcruisers - the great and preferred mechanical beasts of the Sahara - I make the fabled journey “from here to Timbuktu” in Nov/Dec and in February I drive from Mali to Cameroon.
We will cover many miles, go through extraordinary landscapes, stay with amazing communities en route, meet some wonderful people and you will have good time to zen out as different worlds go by.
On the Sahara Overland you will see Europe meeting north Africa meeting the desert meeting sub Saharan Africa - one world, one journey.
For Mali to Cameroon we will travel across the Sahel (edge of the Sahara) and experience the gamut of landscapes and west African cultures, from desert to semi desert to svannah to highlands and mountains to equatorial forest and coast.

Sahara means desert in Arabic. At 9,000,000 sq kms it is the greatest desert on earth. The USA will fit within its borders.
The Sahara desert is the reason Africa became known as “the dark continent”, as it so thwarted explorers’ and colonial ambitions that little was known about sub-Saharan Africa until the great explorers of the 19th century.
The continent of America, that was not even known to exist until the 15th century, proved less of an obstacle to find and explore despite the small issue of the Atlantic ocean, than Africa beyond the Sahara - despite Africa being visible from Europe!
Come with me on a month’s journey that took Europeans centuries to brave.
