I have an interest to do this trip as part of some other travel in the region. I am a solo traveller but the trip information states that a minimum of 2 people is required. How do I find out which trips are running? Mauritania is a difficult place to get to so whilst I have flexibility over dates, I would not be wanting to confirm long haul flights within 30 days of departure.

You can take the tour on solo basis at the cost of USD 3 375.00

Are the dates guaranteed or is it dependent on having enough people sign up? Is there a single supplement? Is the accommodation in the same hotel each evening?

The tour is a go from 2 persons and cost is based on 2 persons sharing a room. Accommodation changes according to the destinations to be visited. For example, one way drive Nouakchott - Chinguitty takes about 7 hours. So the overnight on that day would be in Chinguitty.
