Banc D Arguin is a Mauritanian national park ideal for sighting the birds that migrate from northern Europe and Siberia. In this tour, clients will discover hundreds of birds , enabling them to go out on the Atlantic Ocean in the park where these birds are located. Sometimes, dolphins have been sighted . More, this park is one of the most important zones in the world for nesting birds .In addition, Banc D Arguin is formed of sand dunes, areas of coastal swamps, small islands and shallow coastal waters. The austerity of the desert and the biodiversity of the marine area results in a land and seascape of exceptional contrasting natural value.
This park lies in West Africa on the west coast of Mauritania between Nouakchott and Nouadhibou.This world herifage site is a major breeding site for migratory birds, including flamingos, broad-billed sandpipers, pelicans and terns.

I had an absolutely fantastic day with Mauritanian best tours, literally an experience for life. Mohammed organised a full days outing for me. I was picked up early in the morning by an English speaking guide and driver. The car was a 4WD in excellent condition, and the driver was superb. We covered 300 km through the desert, including the last 70 km with no visible tracks. On arrival, we were met by Sidi, a trained environmentalist. He had organised a local dhow, with a 2 man crew from the local fishing village. We sailed for 90 min out (at 7 knots), to the famous sandbanks of Iwik national park. Here, we witnessed the most incredible array of nesting birds, a colony of 500 pelicans, nesting cormorants, flamingoes, herons, skuas, gulls, terns and more. It was a spectacular view. We saw dolphins and fished our own lunch, which the crew cooked onboard. An absolutely wonderful experience. I cannot thank Mohammed, Sidi and the others enough. Highly, highly recommended, if you want to enjoy an outdoor adventure with amazing wildlife.
Thanks for your trust and support.
We hope to see you again.
