01 The tour

The real Sahara,
deep inside Mauritania

Experience the “real” Sahara deep inside the heart of Mauritania. Sand, oases, canyons, beaches and mountains. Mauritania has more variety than one would think of.

With Cabra Ventura we are currently the only organisation with a rental fleet in Mauritania. We truly think Mauritania is the future for adventure riding.
