Morocco/Mauritania/Senegal March to May '16
I am riding solo on my DRZ400 down through Morocco, through Mauritania, to Senegal and back during March, April, and May. I am planning to do some of the pistes around Ouarzazate on the way back. Rough itinerary is arrival in Tanger Med on 21st March and arrive in Senegal around 4 weeks later. I would stop off in Rabat for a few days to pick up Mauritanian visa.
Has anyone else got anything similar planned and perhaps travel together for some of the route?
Let me know.

Not on that route expressly, but arriving Tanger Med 30 or 31st March, riding solo in the Mid and Anti-Atlas, spending time just looking at life as it goes. Flexible itinerary, partly based on places I want to see and tracks proposed by Chris Scott. Happy to share my Moroccan phone number once I get there, if we happen to be in the same area or nearby, would be nice to meet. I usually stay away from ride groups but don't snob anyone. Of course groups can be a lot of fun as well!
Safe travels

Hi - I'm landing in Melilla in my Landcruiser (apologies for the extra wheels ) on 2nd April heading all the way South. I have a couple of appointments on the way - Casablanca 7th April, Dakhla 16th - to pick up and drop of 'guests'...but I'm on my own from there on. I'll be on the lookout!

Hi Tosborn2, did you pull it off, your journey? I am keen to learn about your experience. Especially on the safety challenges re Mauritania....
Considering to a similar tour end of the year, and then epxlore way to go all the way down (as an alternative on the east-africa route, with Syria in the way).
Cheers,
Remco

Mauri is not a problem, go and enjoy..getting back in from Senegal is the only hassle. Plenty of info on here about that route.
