Security Situation Western Sahara / Mauritania
Hello all...
I've read a fair bit on Mauritania as there seem to be some travelers who have recently or are about to travel through. The UK foreign office paints a fairly bleak picture of the security situation but posts on here seem much more upbeat. I'm going to be traveling into Western Sahara and then Mauritania from 9th Dec down through to Senegal. I've traveling on my own in Series 1 Discovery so will stand out a fair bit.
What are peoples recent experiences of security in Western sahara and Mauritania? What recommendations can people make on routes through Western Sahara, things to see places to stay. In terms of Mauritania I'll be sticking to the Noukchott - Nouadhibou corridor, I'm a virgin when it comes to thiis area so would really appreciate thoughts from more seasoned travelers in this area.
I've traveled a fair bit but not in West Africa. Any advice or synopsis of peoples experiences will be much appreciated. Once I'm on the road I'll be posting my experiences regularly so hopefully people can benefit in return!
Thanks!
