The journey
Come with me on an incredible journey from London to Timbuktu across the Sahara desert to the fabled city of Timbuktu and the Adrar des Iforas mountains for Xmas festivities with Tuaregs and New year at the Festival of Camels..
25 November 2009 to 2 January 2010
€3250 all inclusive to Timbuktu.
Includes xmas Tuareg Festival safari
Using Toyota Landcruisers - the great and preferred mechanical beasts of the Sahara - we will make the fabled journey “from here to Timbuktu”.
The route we are taking is across France, ferry to Tunis and straight across Tunisia to Algeria. At the border we pick up my 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 then go south to the border with Mali and on to Aguelhoc and the Adrar Des Iforas mountains and my community of Tuaregs.
On the 20th of Dec you will 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.
