Hello Mana
I would not be concerned about Mauretania, like Mali friendly people.
Different but nice, including officials.
Because you've lived in Ghana you know all the do's and don'ts in African countries, would be more concerned about Spain and France or even worse ... Holland.
You can find much more info on this hubb (as you probably did) see for an example: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...uritania-21470 more about offroad and remote pistes but also about security. No need to have a constant suply of cadeax !
As an alternative for boring 'tarmac' I would suggest to take the 'old' route from Nouakchot to Noadibou, beach highway and through the national park.
The park is still very beatifull and has all sorts of desertlandscape to get a little feel off the sahara and sertanly has terrific lunchbreak and camping spots. When you are across the border in Marocco there still are lots of 'boring' hours on tarmac ahead (at least untill Laayoune).
