Unitour Mauritania
Unitour Mauritania was born in 2009 thanks to Oriana Dal Bosco and Mohamed Berweigat. Shared by a deep passion for North Africa, for the desert, for rock art and for travel, they have decided to put their experience and their passion at the service of those who want to know this area. Mohamed was born in the desert and throughout his youth he moved as a nomad, through all the regions of the country; Oriana was invited in 1991 by the man who became the Minister of Tourism years later, to develop tourism in a country that was practically unknown. It is no coincidence that the largest Italian tour operators rely on us to organize their tours, always accompanied by our Italian, French and English speaking guides.
Mauritania is, without a doubt, a little-known country, particularly by the Italian public. This allows you to travel without encountering large numbers of tourists, in an area of the Sahara desert, which overlooks the Atlantic ocean coast to the west, where you can admire two ornithological parks among the largest in the world and a UNESCO heritage site, characteristic villages exuding history and culture, ancient libraries that preserve a heritage of inestimable richness and, of course. wild desert landscapes where the traces of our Saharan predecessors are found (and left in place), in quantities and richness that have no equal.
The ocean waves meet the sand dunes in a union of rare beauty. All this makes Mauritania a magical place where human presence is not so widespread and the anthropic impact on the environment is certainly minimal, giving the tourist the opportunity to enjoy a trip to primordial and virgin places, but with a almost daily with the Mauri nomads. Our Eco lodge Ouadane has been open since December 2019, where our customers find hospitality, a key word for the Mauro people.
Land of Men, this is how Saint Exupery, the author of The Little Prince, defined it at the beginning of the 20th century. It is in Mauritania that the Little Prince's plane lands in emergency and it is from those golden sand dunes that the child tells of his love for a single, solitary and unrepeatable rose. The high ridges of sand chase each other down to the sea and "enter" the ocean waves. From afar, in the middle of the dunes, you can already hear the powerful, rhythmic sound of the sea. Paths that run between the sea and the high dunes, covered with millions of shells, which "sound", continually captured, swallowed and returned by the waves of the Atlantic: here is the Banc d'Arguin where brightly colored boats juggle with mastery among the waves.
Mauritania is a country of contrasts: desert and oasis, ocean and bush, land and water.
