Camping under star-studded skies, this tour is a truly unique opportunity to spend time with the fabled Wodaabe and to marvel at their much anticipated Gerewol celebrations - a magnificent male beauty pageant and rhythmic festival of dance before the elders.
Camping with the Wodaabe is basic and thus quite hardy and liable to change, yet at the same time breathtaking and rewarding.
