Join us in February 2023 for a Serengeti à d Rift Valley safari following in the footsteps of mankind.

25/03/2022

The foot print in the rock is 117,000 years old. It is in the Rift Valley, near Lake Natron, Tanzania from where the first nomads emerged.

This nomad was walking away from the volcano behind the Maasai below after it erupted. The rains will have made the mud soft, then the ash from the volcano settled and hardened to preserve the evidence of their flight. These footprints were recently uncovered by the wind.

The Maasai call that mountain Ol Doinyo Lengai - the Mountain of God.

The foot on the right is mine. It's a perfect fit, though only 53 years old!

That foot will be stepping back into that footprint and leading a journey through the Rift Valley into the Serengeti to observe another type of migration, in early 2023.

Look out for more migration details coming soon...

"Traveling to Chinguetti and Ouadane – Mauritania‘s gateway to the Sahara" https://www.thetravelersbuddy.com/2021/10/22/chinguetti-ouadane-in-mauritania/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=chinguetti-ouadane-in-mauritania

Located in the outskirts of the Sahara, Chinguetti and Ouadane are two hidden gems Mauritania is hidding from the rest of the world.

From Here 2 Timbuktu is back on the road this May with a month's overland trip.
Starting in Bamako we are heading to Mauritania for a wee desert safari to Chinguetti, the old caravan town and seat of Islamic learning, the Timbuktu of Mauritania, where we will begin a camel trek across the mysterious geological phenomenon of the Rickat structure - also known as the Sahara Circle - to Ouadane.
We will then be hitching a ride from the desert to the coast on the largest train in the world that takes Iron Ore from deep in the desert to the port of Nouadibou.

From Mauritania we will go south to Senegal, through the Parc de Djoudj, one of the important sites in the world for migrating birds, and onto the island city of Saint Louis, the "Manhattan of West Africa" and the former administrative centre for colonial French West Africa. Then down to Dakar the most happening city of West Africa.

From Dakar we will cross back east and south across Senegal, Gambia, and onto Guinea. Through the Parc nationale of the upper Niger and returning into the west of Mali and back to Bamako.

You can join this trip in Bamako, Noaukchott or Dakar, for two to four weeks.

Please email [email protected] for dates and more details.

Grant McCall

Thanks Grant McCall for the support.

From Here 2 Timbuktu is relaunching after an 8 year rest and recuperation from world events!!

Reviews really help to attract new clients. If anyone who has travelled with me would care to write a review under the review tab I'd much appreciate it.

Fancy a ride?
Road Trip: Mali to Morocco March/April 2022

I'm venturing back across the Sahara on a road trip from Mali to Morocco. There are two places up for grabs. This trip may include a camel trek in Mauritania and/or a train ride from the desert to the coast.

Then in April I'll be doing a 2 week trip around Morocco, taking in some really cool places in Western Sahara, The Atlas ,mountains and the Rife valley, alongside covering the main citadels. There are a possible 6 places on this journey.

Both trips are flexible at the moment, will be built around the interest I get, and are part of an introduction into a new direction that Im taking for From Here 2 Timbuktu which I will be announcing soon.

Please message me here, or call me on the WhatsApp button (+223 75586274) or email [email protected] of you are interested.
