Any news on that front? I'm thinking of joining a camel trekking coming spring at Djanet. Tour operator said: lots of military around, all safe. Does this coincide with your experience?

I would not have any safety concerns in the Djanet area, the military presence was subdued but omnipresent in the past years, and they have a pretty impressive array of remote-sensing capabilities.
The issue seems to be with the issuing of visas at present. The advice: start early, apply at least 2-3 months in advance of planned trip.

Since 2006 I was many times in Djanet area and Tadrart. I returned a week ago from the last trip. There were more tourists on Sebeiba than in previous years. Last year were Andrasz and two groups of Polish only, now Europeans were ca 50+. We met someone every day in Tadrart, even 14 Landcruisers in the same time near Tamezguida. Comparing - we didn’t met anybody in whole Tadrart on 2014. Army more than usual. Military camps in Essendilene and at the entrances to Wadi El Berdj and Wadi Injaren. In addition car patrols in Tadrart. Looks better than in previous years, but Algeria will changes soon related to the illness of President Bouteflika. You don’t know what will happens…
We received visas this year without problems, but I've heard about small groups of Italians, who didn’t receive the visas and Belgians, who received it but after ca 2 months waiting for authorisations from Algerian Foreign Affairs.. Last year we got visas after phone call of our friends from the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs...

Thanks a lot for these infos, it sounds that situation is a (little) better now though the main problem is to obtain visa when you want to go to Southern area.
14 Land Cruisers: which nationality? (Cars and drivers).
