Great videos - and informative for those of us coming after you. Thank you. What mix of Go Pro/360 are you using? I love the TPF video game style - Insta360? All the best. Travel safe.
Thank you! At the moment there are no videos as I still don't have a new/fixed laptop. So sorry for that first of all. I am using a DJI Action, Insta360. In the future there will be a drone. Fingers crossed I will find a solution for the laptop. Thanks for watching!
Any vehicle searches when entering Senegal? And I forgot to ask… how did you go about getting a SIM card while you were in Mauritainia? I’ve heard it’s not easy?
I didn't have my car checked, it didn't seem like anyone would care to be honest. I got a Sim card before entering Senegal which was super easy. A bit expensive compared but okay. My priority was having internet once I enter. No registration, no nothing. :)
Sorry right, I didn't explain. The "Carnet de Passage" ( sometimes it has different names) is basically the passport for the vehicle. You have to put a deposit down for your car, which was too expensive for my taste. The river is just called River Senegal as far as I know. It's not a very big one and follows the border of Mauritania and Senegal. Thanks for asking and thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
Interesting video. 250 EUR is way expensive I suppose but then I am sure the cake has to be shared with many. What is the name of the Mauritania / Senegal border? Name of the border towns in each country.
Thank you. :) It is crazy expensive, considering that one doesn't pay that when entering from the south for example. It's the Diama Border. Rosso, the other border in the north is even worse. It's known to better be avoided.
@@roadlessroaming I heard of that cost`s without the carnet. It is nothing compare what to pay for the carnet. And considering may also if you loose it... The carnet is "just" one year valid. You are documentfree on the road. enjoy it. Danke für das mitnehmen!
@fa7842 That's true! The document is just borrowed and you have to organise the return after one year if I remember correctly. And you have to get a new one. I already forgot about those things. The only positive thing is, that you don't have to argue as often at the borders. And is you lose your car for any reason, most likely in an accident, you have to try to get your deposit back. Basically it's a bit headache for a small benefit.
The price for the carnet is not the problem mostly. But if you don't have a bank who supports you with the Carnet de Passage, who have to put down a deposit of a certain percentage of your car. And that depends on your country. For me, that was simply not possible.
