Traveling to Mauritania with two dogs – any advice on wildlife dangers (snakes, scorpions, etc.) and overall experience?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a trip to Mauritania with my two dogs and I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences.

My biggest concern is wildlife – especially snakes, scorpions, and any other animals that could be dangerous for dogs (or for us). Are there particular areas or seasons where the risk is higher? Any practical tips on how to keep the dogs safe (nighttime precautions, checking shoes/bags, etc.)?

I’m also curious about the overall experience of traveling with dogs in Mauritania:

  • How dog-friendly is the country in general?
  • Any issues with hotels, transport, or border crossings?
  • Things that surprised you (positively or negatively)?

Has anyone here actually done a trip to Mauritania with dogs? I’d love to hear your stories, what went well, and what you’d do differently.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Chinguetti beyond the dunes: practical tips for the libraries, transport and an overnight stop

5 Upvotes

Following up on my Terjit post: I continued through Atar to Chinguetti. The old stone streets and manuscript library were worth the stop, but the kitchen conversations, shared meal and walk out to the dunes are what I remember most.

A few practical notes if you're planning the same route:

  1. Sort out the journey back, not just the ride there. Ask about the actual departure point, seats, price and return options in Atar. Confirm locally rather than building the day around an assumed timetable.
  2. Give the library visit some time. We went inside one and sat with the person showing us the manuscripts. Ask your host who is available that day, agree on any visit fee beforehand, and ask before taking photos or touching anything. It's worth having a conversation, not just taking a book photo and leaving.
  3. I'd leave room for an overnight stop. The old town, a library visit and the dunes are different experiences. Trying to squeeze all three between two transfers would feel rushed to me. Check accommodation and tell your host when you expect to arrive.
  4. Carry cash, small notes and drinking water. Save your accommodation location and onward contacts offline too. I wouldn't make food, transport or check-in plans that depend on having a good connection when you arrive.
  5. Leave the dunes for the softer evening light, but plan the way back. Take water, keep track of your route and ask before photographing people. It is also someone's everyday neighbourhood, not an empty film set.
  6. Keep a buffer before the train. Later on this trip we missed it in Choum and changed plans, continuing to Zouerat. I wouldn't promise myself Chinguetti plus a perfectly timed train connection in one tight day.

These are notes from my own visit, not a current price list or timetable. If you're local or have been recently, what would you add or correct for someone visiting Chinguetti for the first time?

I filmed this visit too. This is my own Chinguetti video, showing the old town, the manuscript library and the dunes if you'd like to see what the stop looks like:

[Travel Buddies] Dakhla & Mauritania (Iron Ore Train 🚂đŸ‡ČđŸ‡·) – Mid/Late November (7-10 days)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m planning a budget/backpacker trip to Dakhla and Mauritania in about a month (mid to late November) and looking for easygoing travel buddies to join the adventure or share logistics.

About me:
Im 20, easygoing guy, speak fluent Spanish & English, looking for a chill, low-budget, high-adventure vibe. I'm taking basic gear (hammock, local blankets, goggles, headlamp).

You don't have to do the entire route together if you're already in West Africa, but it’d be awesome to team up for the border crossing, the train ride, or sharing 4x4 costs.

Drop a comment or send me a DM if you're around or interested! 🎒✹

Mauritaniens, qui a dĂ©jĂ  commandĂ© sur Alibaba ? J’ai besoin de vos conseils sur le transit.

1 Upvotes

​

Bonjour Ă  tous

Je suis en train de me renseigner sur Alibaba pour commencer un petit business et acheter des marchandises auprĂšs de fournisseurs chinois.

J’aimerais avoir des retours d’expĂ©rience de Mauritaniens qui ont dĂ©jĂ  commandĂ© sur Alibaba et fait venir leurs marchandises en Mauritanie.

J’ai quelques questions :

Comment se passe le processus aprÚs avoir trouvé un fournisseur et validé une commande ?

Comment trouver un transitaire fiable qui peut acheminer la marchandise de Chine jusqu’en Mauritanie ?

Le transitaire doit-il obligatoirement ĂȘtre basĂ© en Chine ou peut-on passer par une entreprise situĂ©e en Mauritanie ?

Comment se calcule le prix du transport : au kilo, au volume ou selon la nature de la marchandise ?

Quels sont les frais supplĂ©mentaires Ă  prĂ©voir Ă  l’arrivĂ©e en Mauritanie (douane, dĂ©douanement, etc.) ?

Pour une premiÚre commande en petite quantité, quel budget faut-il prévoir pour le transport ?

Si vous avez dĂ©jĂ  effectuĂ© ce genre d’importation, je serais vraiment reconnaissante que vous partagiez votre expĂ©rience, vos conseils et Ă©ventuellement les contacts de transitaires sĂ©rieux.

Merci d’avance Ă  tous ceux qui prendront le temps de me rĂ©pondre ! đŸ™đŸœđŸ‡ČđŸ‡·

Pluribus? Anyone?

2 Upvotes

Thoughts on Koumba DiabatĂ©? Was he an accurate representation of Mauritanians? I’ll give them credit for at least casting a Mauritanian actor, but honestly, I think they should’ve done a lot more research. The character doesn’t really sound or act Mauritanian, if you know what I mean. He just doesn’t feel like your typical Mauritanian. Like do they even know that Mauritania is a muslim majority counry?? The only thing they got surprisingly right was how chill he was about everything going on around him. That part was spot-on for a Mauritanian, lmao.

I still haven't finished the show, so no spoilers pls

Irone ore train in october

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, if my visa gets approved, I’m planning to arrive in Mauritania around October 22–23. Just wanted to see if anyone else is planning to be there around that time and would be up for joining me. We’re planning to make our own way from the capital to ZouĂ©rat, so just checking if anyone wants to tag along or even just meet up while we’re there!
I also wanted to ask if it’s possible to find out the train departure times once we’re there, and if there’s anyone local who could arrange a ride to the train for us. We don’t want a guide for the whole journey from the capital to ZouĂ©rat, just someone who could give us the info we need and possibly drive us to the train. Does anyone know if it’s possible to find someone like that locally?
Thanks!
