Hi,
Point Voyage return with trips to Djanet based on Air France + Air Algerie flights. Kevin Girard told me they even do not think about charter flights to Djanet. Now they have charters to Atar only.
Regards
Artur Urbanski

Yes, not really big news, as Artur says.
Their new Mori program is much more interesting, imo.

Not excited??

They are now offering three different package tours for Djanet, sixteen departures in all.
Some of them confirmed, meaning they have found clients.
Groups between 6-15. 8-15 days.
Flying with Air France and Air Algerie. As above +



To Mauretania they offer two packages, same number of clients, but more departures.
Flying with ASL and Mauri Airlines.



To Chad they offer one package tour.


I hope they succeed. I find their prices very reasonable.

Just saying it's not something we couldn't all do ourselves last year or two, both in car or with camels.

For Mori I see 7 packages with PV all the way up to Oumat el Ham north of Big Mog, and one plane all the way to Atar.

PV are great value like you say – good luck to them.
(though 15 years ago I recall local agencies in Tam not being so pleased with the under-cutting).

I'm doing my bit: booked some springtime meharee with them a couple of weeks ago ;-). For me a good recce for a later trip.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
