Border crossing [RIM-Senegal] Bogue & Kaedi
 

Does anybody know how is the border crossing from Senegal to Mauri (and reverse) at Bogue and Kaedi ? I' ve seen some photos with rafts big enough for a mercedes van at Bogue. We try to avoid Diama and Rosso, any info will help

I crossed with my motorcycle in a pirogue at Bogue from Mauritania to Senegal in Dec 2006. At the time we didn't see any pirogues large enough for a car or 4x4. It may have changed since but I wouldn't bet on it!

There was a police hut on the Mauri side to stamp you out, but there was nothing on the Senegalese side to stamp you in.

I found on an approaching landing map and on an IGN mauritania printed last year a bridge from Kaedi into Senegal. Can anyone confirm that?

Yes, does anybody know a way to cross between Mauretania and eastern Senegal with a 4x4?

Happy travels!

We asked around in Bogue and Kaedi, and even went down to the river where the chinese are working on a goudron west of Kaedi, but no bridges and no ferryboat although the river was small

I just skimmed through Itchy's Mauritania vids (amazing droning around Guelb) and note she crossed at Bogué on a pirogue with her light bike a few weeks back. So nothing has changed in years.
Paid 1500 oogs (£35?) and with police controls on either side, but had to go to 'wild west' Rosso to get her two-day passe avant to continue to Dakar for the CdP stamp.
I also saw she easily managed to buy carte brune insurance for all of West Af in St Louis. Arrow on map below. Maybe on iOverlander already?

Chris, this insurance office, appeared on ioverlander 6 years ago. In fact, she has commented in her videos that ioverlander is the application she is using the most.
