Mauritania (WP - 3-12 April 2024) (1 Viewer)

[Benedict Macdonald]

I will be arranging a specialist trip with 2-3 vehicles/guides this April to connect with the following target species, but as always very happy to build more into the itinerary. This trip is deemed safe with good guides, and relatively straightforwards. The on-ground costs are estimated to be $950/person.

Blue-naped Mousebird

African Grey Woodpecker

Reed Cormorant

WB Cormorant

Grey-headed Gull

W.African Crested Tern

Golden Nightjar

African Dunn's Lark

Cricket Warbler

Sudan Golden Sparrow

African Collared Dove

Hi Ben - I'm sure it's already on your radar but I'd include the Mauritanian race of Grey Heron as a target? Who knows, maybe one day that armchair might be useful!

That's a decent on-ground cost you've negotiated - I'd have been interested if I hadn't seen everything elsewhere. And agree Mauritania is perfectly safe (if a somewhat niche destination).

Worth adding to anyone interested, I don't know Ben personally but I do know he is brilliant at these WP trips - just read his Morocco report https://www.cloudbirders.com/be4/download?filename=MACDONALD_Morocco_05_2015.pdf - to get an insight into the effort he puts into research, logistics and the eventual report of all the WP trips he organises.

Cheers

Mike

PS Kari Haataja and crew were in Mauretania last month if you wanted to know the latest....?

Hi Benedict
I might be interested in the Mauritania trip in April 2024.
I'm wondering what dates you're planning on going there.
My email is [email protected] if you want to contact me privately.

Vince.
