A 28 day expedition through: Tunisia, Libya, Niger, Bénin and Togo: from the Mediterranean to the Gulf of Guinea.
From the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean: a journey through different ecosystems, a full and exciting experience, which will allow you to find out at first hand about the lifestyles and customs of the many different peoples we will meet along the way.

Starting from Tunisia and Libya we will then head off-road towards Niger. From the sea to the desert, we will pass through a lot of Roman remains, Sabrata, the Dwanda region and the capital of the Garamantes. Djado, a world a part, the mysterious fortified abandoned citadels, the Tenere, "the desert of deserts".

After the mythic Agadez, begins the anonymous Sahel.

After the Niger River, the soil becomes quite fertile. The Somba and their fortified dwellings, The Taneka hidden on their hill. The forest and then the coastline again: in the land of voodoo, the religion of the ancestors.

Group of 7 people, starting from 4.730€
