Drive Spain-Morroco-Mauritania-Mali (Tomouctou) by 2WD?
Hello there,
We are planning our (2 friends) first trip in August by a 2WD (Opel Corsa) to Morroco. Also reading reactions on this forum this has to be quite easy and amazing. But maybe in addition we would like to travel thrue Mauritania to Mali going to Tomouctou I have a few questions regarding this:
- Is the road all sealed to Tomouctou If I see the map I think of taking the route: Dahkla-Nouadhibou-Nouakchott-Nema-Nara-Tombouctou and the same way back. Is this advisable?
- My car is pretty new (since feb. 2006). Do I need extra carnets or stuff like that? What if the car breaks down, are spare parts and garages available? Will my car be a target for cartheft, or is the chance for cartheft low in the area?
- My car runs on diesel, is that (widely) available in the area?
- What time would it take to make this trip
- Is it ok to travel this route with to people by one car?
- Can you give advise on crossing the borders of Morocco-Mauritania and Mauritania-Mali?
Thanks for now and I hope to get some answers.
