Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal and back - next spring?

[spakur]

Hi!

I have been thinking about taking some time off next spring (earlier is not possible) and travel solo from Sweden to Senegal and back on my bike (BMW F650).

The idea is to leave Sweden in late February and return back home in the beginning of June. A month ago I thought that I’d just spend three months in Morocco, but I have already been there once (1 month, backpacking), so I am considering going further south this time.

I understand the weather further south gets hotter and hotter the further towards the summer it gets, so the plan is to put the bike on the train through Germany and France and try to enter Morocco 1 mars.

After entering Morocco I’ll try to travel in the interior and head south. In Mauritania the idea is to ride along the coast down to Senegal (since it looks like it will be too hot in the interior). Once in Senegal I’ll do the reverse trip although at least in Morocco try a different route.

I understand that I don’t need a carnet and that I can get multiple entry visas for Morocco and Mauritania on the way, so returning wont be to difficult, but I am mostly concerned about the weather. As far as I have knowledge of it will at least be dry, but is it going to be too hot? The plan is to be down in Dakar in early April and back in morocco again in late April/early May.

Any suggestions or advices, before I ask my boss for some time off…

Regards,
Spakur
