This adventure is made for everyone who wants to fulfill their dream of Dakar. “RIP TO DAKAR” is simply legendary and takes us through 3 incredible countries. In 13 riding days we cover approx. 4300km. Our team plans everything down to the last detail and ensures that everything runs smoothly. This famous Lac Rose in Dakar is only within reach with the necessary riding skills, a lot of perseverance and good material. This tour requires a lot of preparation and a considerable lead time. This tour is definitely not suitable for beginners. A transport vehicle accompanies the tour and transports equipment, luggage and spare parts. You will spend the night in tents and some permanent accommodation. A rest day in Dakhla provides the necessary break for man and machine halfway.
We use for this tour the GPS support from Garmin Inreach for the tracking of every rider.
A Visa for Mauritania and a valid passport are required for travel preparation (Austrian citizen). Also we need for each country a insurance to enter.
The flights to get to Marrakesh and return from Dakar are not included in the price.
There is breakfast for all participants. The costs for meals during the day are not included in the price.
Each participant has to provide for his own vehicle. Fuel during the tour is not included in the tour price.
START IN MARRAKECH on October 19th, 2024
