Ciao Birgitt, News are so spotted that it's hard to understand now what really happened in Danakil Depression... My experience there, 2 years ago was: before arriving in Dallol area we were forced to rent 2 local guides at the village before (plus our police man from Makalle where we started) than, ...

Hi Susanne, I've been there in december 2009. Safety speaking we had no problem, Afar people are strange kind of, any one wants birr for everything (ie. sitting at treee shadow, descent of rust from volcain, etc.) but well knowing it, it's only a question of your appeal with they. Regarding mines, w...

Hi Andreas, It depends of what you'd like to do... Normally august it's rain "end time" and most of the roads can be done. The most dangerous area is the Dogon cliff and the sourroundings because 3 or 4 little rivers grown up and destroy bridges etc. If you'll be there, ask to locals in Ba...

Regarding this... just read on a french forum Explo4x4 : Suite à l'attaque de touristes fin janvier : Les autorités egyptiennes ont refoulé un groupe de touristes français qui devait se rendre en raid dans le Gelf Kebir et l'Uwaynat en février. Ils n'ont pas pu aller plus au sud que l'oasis de Dakla...

Belive me, buy on the way the "Coartem" or "Cotexin" -> They do their job! Be sure about quantities: 16 pills box -> for proven malaria (after the test I mean), and follow exactly what written on the datasheet. 24 pills box -> for un-proven malaria (as you are not able to do any ...

Ciao Andreas, As in my last experiences, Mali, Burkina, Togo, Benin, the laisser-passer is delivered for at least 30 days, renovable "quite easy" at Douane offices, in case to stop it for a long period, by an admission of "not driving the car at all". In Cameroon, what's to be se...

Ciao Andreas, It seems to be a poker game.... I eard also that local government close those routes that are dangerouse in terms of mud etc...

Ciao Christelle, It seems to be a "nightmare"........ But an interesting one too, isn't it? :wink: By the way, we've to see what happens in the next period, surely it's clear that it's a difficult trip, and maybe the goal is very hard to sign. Thanks anyway :) it's better to have bad news ...

Hi all, sorry for writing in english... Hallo Wolf, concerning Morocco and WestSahara, you can run safe anyway, specially along the coast areas. Be afraid of places and tracks that joins Smara (from Layounne) and from Smara to Dakhla (by the way, ther's nothing to do there) Let me know more in detai...

I can confirm what said from Thomas.
This august no hassles during procedures at the border, just waiting end of lunch time.
