Camping on the Border of Mauritania - Extreme Travel

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 เม.ย. 2023
  • I'm going to be honest. I didn't like Mauritania. It's a difficult country and from what I saw of the main two cities the people were tough and not paticularly welcoming. Not one person stopped to talk to me or gave me anything when I talked to them. I only started to realise why after the video. I think a lot of the mistrust comes from the fact a large section of the population had some first hand experience of slavery and who could blame them for keeping themselves to themselves. Join me as I wander through the streets and drive my old van further than it's ever been.

    I feel the tension of the place just watching. Yes I'd be aiming for more friendly places also!
    You want to think about an oil and filter change, plus Air filter on the van in those dusty conditions!
    Don't get caught out. Safe travels😊

      Thanks Jon. I had them changed just before the journey but you think I should do it again??

    • @MyJon64
      @MyJon64 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I do. Oil change, Oil Filter and Air Filter. Other service items aren't that important. More attention to these items is required due to the hot dusty African climate! It's £50. Job in the UK!

    religious muslims will view board shorts with disdain unless they come below the knee, that might explain some of the unfriendliness as youre in a conservative area
