At Senegal’s Doorstep: A Taste of Safari
A blend of sandy trails and tricky navigation in the savannah.
Another new feature of the Africa Eco Race: Stage 11 takes competitors across the border into Senegal for a unique special stage in the Sahelian savanna. This day will likely determine the final rankings. The sandy special stage offers a safari-like experience with tricky tracks winding between baobabs and acacias. The Mauritanian off-road sections give way to unmarked paths that constantly crisscross, presenting a different navigational challenge from Mauritania. Final standings will be confirmed at the Mpal bivouac after this stage.
