General organisation
of the expeditions
Each expedition is thoroughly prepared.
|  For
each tour :
your guides and cooks will handle all supply and logistics
details.
Guides see to that vehicles run well and get refuelled.
Cooks prepare food, which is healthy and abundant. They
make sure there is drinkable water, plus water from the wells for washing.
A "dining-room" is created for every meal. Two campfires are lighted at
night : one for cooking, the other one for the campers to enjoy evenings.
To sleep, comfortable mattresses are provided to everybody.
You may also have tents on demand.

If you choose a 4WD tour:
 |
Travelling distance is approximately 200 km
per day. Vehicles, each with four fee-paying passengers, will stop whenever
there is a tourist or cultural attraction or a beautiful sight.
We use Toyota Landcruisers able to go through the rocky tracks of the
Aïr as well as the sandy dunes of Ténéré. |

If you choose a foot or camel trek :
A 4WD will drop you to the departure of your
expedition. Packcamels carry your luggage, water, food and mattresses. Distances
travelled each day by the caravan is between 10 and 25 km, depending on
what you are looking for, be it on foot or on camel. A 4WD will pick you
up when your expedition is over and take you back to Agadez.
Furthermore, Dunes-Voyages can take you fully
in charge from your arrival in Niger, either if you take a regular flight to
Niamey or the direct charter between France and Agadez (from Paris or from Marseilles).
Airlines flying to Niamey : Air France, Air Afrique,
Air Algérie, Air Maroc, Ethiopian Airlines. A charter is scheduled soon
; check out the site for news about this.
