- Mauritania to Senegal Overland | Rosso - the Worst Border in Africa? | Dhaka to Dakar 46
The day I had been dreading on my massive overland trek from Dhaka, Bangladesh to Dakar, Senegal, the day I had to cross the border from Mauritania to Senegal at Rosso.
Today's vlog shows how I did it, travelling from Nouakchott to the border by mini-van, crossing the border at the Senegal River via pirogue (wooden boat) and then the journey from Rosso to Saint Louis in a car that didn't look like it could go, let alone manage 90 kilometres on country roads.
See how the border experience was for me, from passport duties to changing money as I cross what has become known on the internet as the 'most corrupt border in Africa'. Is it deserved?

Haha it's not so bad u just have to go with the flow ... as they say... do they? Thanks for watching:)
Hello Andys, Saint-Louis senegal miss u
Awww thanks hope you're well!!!
Hi Andy! Thanks for this. Planning to overland West Africa and film it. This video was really helpful.
What do you film with?
Thanks mate.
Hi there thanks for watching! It was actually loads of fun taking my way down the coast check out the video of Morocco to Mauritania. This was my backup camera actually it's an Akaso v50 pro and it just stopped working about a week later which sucked. I've now joined the GoPro family. Anyways feel free to hit me up
Awesome adventure Sir - I wonder if the Merrick border would be any easier?
Boom boom. More puns than I put in the videos! Thanks for watching
Wow what an experience!
Thanks for watching!
C'est Afrique! 😂
Lol vraiment! Merci beaucoup por regarder Mon video!
Did you pay the bribe normally €240
Wow no no bribe nothing really. Really was pretty smooth all told thanks for watching!
How much did you had to pay to cross the border. Great video by the way thx
thanks for watching. I paid 5000cfa on the pirogue which is about 15 Euro at a guess and about 3 Euro to some guy on the Senegalese side. The mini bus from Nouakchott I can't remember but it wouldnt have been more than 10-15 Euros same with the sept place to St Louis. At some point the bridge will be finished I guess and it will be easier. I was expecting to be asked to pay a lot more in the way in bribes. as you can see it was super quiet. so I figure i got lucky because it was a Friday and it was Ramadan at the time.
