Mauritania brings a very memorable journey for all the wrong reasons as we face our biggest challenge yet on our overland Africa adventure.

Driving Through the Poorest Country in the World

Chad - Worth the Risk?

No roads, no people, no water. Seven days driving round the top of Lake Chad across the Sahara Desert. The toughest section of our Overland Africa route.

Sudan Pyramids of Meroe

With more pyramids than Egypt Sudan the Nile valley in Sudan is home to some of the most untouched archeological treasures. Every stone in the Nubian Desert is another treasure found.
