I'll mention Benedict Allen
Benedict Allen Explorer Author Filmmaker Public Speakers
I've seen the video of his Mongolian journey. He gets tuition from a Mongolian expert on travelling with a team of camels and sets off on his own for a journey around the Gobi for a few months.
Fascinating stuff. And the end of the journey seemed to be the hardest time - handing back the herd that he had travelled with all that time was a seriously emotional event.
He did the same around the Skeleton Coast immediately before the Gobi adventure but I haven't seen that.
His books may be more instructional, probably worth a look.
I'd also recommend going to one of his talks if there are any - he seems quite happy to chat to people in the audience at the end.
