Private Tours
Every private tour is built from scratch around your group, your dates, and your interests. A dedicated local guide, a private 4×4, and complete flexibility over pace, stops, and accommodation. No shared groups, no fixed departures.
Why Go Private
Our standard tours cap at 8 people. Private tours have no such constraint — and they unlock things that group dynamics can't accommodate.
We don't run fixed departures. If your dates work in the October–March season, we make the trip happen.
From solo travellers to groups of 16. Each vehicle gets its own dedicated guide.
Want two nights in Chinguetti instead of one? Want to skip Ouadane and spend more time in the dunes? Done.
We can add Ben Amera, Zouerate, the Tagant, or any destination on the map. Private = no off-the-shelf constraints.
Your guide is yours for the full trip — not shared with another vehicle or group. The focus is entirely on your experience.
No agency layer. You communicate directly with our team throughout planning and during the trip.
Tour Options
The entire Iron Ore Train logistics — Choum boarding, overnight crossing, Nouadhibou arrival — with a private guide, private 4×4 for transfers, and your choice of open wagon or carriage.
Terjit, Chinguetti, Ouadane, and the Richat Structure as a private expedition. Flexible pace — spend two nights in Chinguetti if you want more time in the libraries, or push to Ouadane the same day.
A private multi-week expedition covering the full breadth of Mauritania — the Atlantic coast, Banc d'Arguin, Adrar plateau, Iron Ore Train, and the remote north. For serious travellers who want everything.
Tell us what you want to see — we'll build the route from scratch. Ben Amera and Zouerate in the remote north? The Tagant plateau? Oualata? We have the contacts and vehicles to make it happen.
Group Size
Private guide and vehicle are just for you. The most flexible and immersive option.
Most popular group size. One vehicle, one guide, close-knit experience.
One or two vehicles depending on luggage. Group rate advantages without losing intimacy.
Multiple vehicles, each with a dedicated guide. We coordinate the convoy throughout.
