Places to stay/camp |
Nouadhibhou - Camping Baie Le Levrier. Very clean
and generally quiet, except for the odd tour guide or money exchanger, who
understand when you say no. Central location, tree for shade in courtyard! Owner, Ali
is very helpful. 1000 UM per person per night (no vehicle charge). Good
patisserie next door with pain au chocolat! Atar -
disappointing, but still provides clean facilities. |
Other information |
Piste route from Nouadibhou to Choum, easily manageable, just stay roughly
parallel to the railway line. Tracks from Choum to Atar easy to
follow. Do not pay any money when leaving the country - it is NOT a
requirement. Entry into Mali from Nema pistes difficult to track, but
using waypoints is OK. |
Overall rating |
Not as friendly, nor as organised as Morocco. |
