Safe crossing
 
Anyone with information on how safe is the Tenere these days? In particular the souther portion below the piste Agadez - Bilma.

The farther away from Agadez/Air, the safer.

To be more precise: Around Agadez, some local bandits may find out that you are there... Going eastwards, you may cross some trafficking routes, and those people are normally not interested in publicity. But no rule without exception: There may always be the situation where someone needs replacement for a broken car.

Travelling "embedded" with locals normally helps. The exception here: A special sort of marketing where one clan engaged in tourism wanting to show you that you made the wrong decision travelling with another clan, so don't hire your guide in Agadez.

Regards,
Peter
