Organizing tours through the Sahara - Possible?
Hi all,
I am thinking to set up a travel agency for tours of the Sahara in the future (for example: Starting in Tanger, driving through the moroccan Atlas, then down the Atlantic Route to Mauritania, with a trip to, for example, Chinguetti or Ouadane) and then to Mali and, maybe, Senegal or Niger...
I will be driving a 4WD and a group following me.
Of course, first I have to make some trips to the area in order to know it well.
The problem:
I phoned the moroccan tourist office in Madrid and they said me that I needed to hire a recieving moroccan tour company in Morocco, if a company was operating in Morocco. Maybe for Mauritania, Mali, Senegal... is the same.
Do you know how tour leaders manage to get around it, as there are several different countries? With cadeux? And what do they do at the borders? I can't lead it without being registered, as I have to give some guarantee to my clients.
