it wasn't all that safe when we did the trip, but certainly a lot more dangerous in the central Sahara over the last few years. Understand route through Mauritania is still OK though. Such wonderful places to visit, can only hope free travel does become possible again eventually ....

Anyone can do the journey - just takes a bit of determination! But thanks for your comment, and glad you have enjoyed our videos.

The Land Rovers were 1993 2.5 litre diesel turbo tdi models. Our first journey was in 1993, followed by ten further journeys through to 2002. The vehicles were eventually sold to an adventure tourism company in Ulan Bator, Mongolia - where they may well still be operating..
