Sudan Camel Trek

The Sudan is the largest nation in Africa, which embraces a diversity of African landscapes - from absolute desert to lush savannah and from the arid Red Sea Hills to the cataracts of the Nile Valley.

The Sudan is not only the meeting place of the Blue and White Niles, it is also where the Arab world meets Africa, with a variety of tribes, languages and cultures. Traversing the Bayuda Desert, a section of the Sahara wedged between bends in the Nile, we pass through a world of black tents and grass-hut villages inhabited by tribes of Arab, Berber and African descent.

Travelling as Sudanese nomads have done for centuries, we follow the route used by the British Camel Corps during the Gordon Relief Expedition in 1885, with no modern technology, prearranged camps or motor support.

With hot days and cool nights under a brilliant canopy of stars, it is a region where tourists are unknown, and where camel riding is still a way of life.
