Seeking partners for Djanet

My plan is to got to Djanet at the end of March ( Ferry Genova-Tunis on March 27th )and I'm seeking for partners to share a guide beetween Taleb Larbi and Djanet .
We are only one car with 2 passengers .
I have a some prices from Tasset agency in Djanet : 25 euros/day for a guide in my car ; plus 320 euros for the guide's travel from Djanet to Taleb Larbi where he will waiting for us .
Same proposition for the retun trip from Djanet to Tunisian border ( I'll take the Tunis-Genova ferry on April 16th ).
Is anybody interrested ?
You can e-mail me at :

Robert.Roustan@vivalis.caisse-epargne.fr

Sorry , but I don't know Lear Jet : the guide will stay in hotel during his travel to Taleb Larbi .
OK , I know it's not so cheap ....... but it's the only way !

Hey,

I hope on traveling in the other direction around that period. Maybe we can work somthing out for the way back, or if i'm early, I can take the guide to Taleb Larbi a at 25 a day, you can take him on the way back. should save us at leat 300 each.

This sounds exciting! I was just reading certain articles reguarding missing people in the Illizi are. I dont know the end result. May be of interest before you travel into this area.

To 2feet : What interresting ( and fresh ) news !
To Robbert : thanks for your reply , I'm waiting a little more to see if others persons are interrested ( for me it's not only a question of money : If you share a guide , it's not always in the same car ...)

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
