When to go Mauritania ?
Except for the rainy season which can bring heavy showers, overwhelming heat, as well as a slew of mosquitoes, Mauritania welcomes you all year round with open arms! However, the rainy season also falls during the Guetna, so... it's your choice! As the country is large, the climate differs according to your position: check the temperatures beforehand, because at the same period, you can be cold in the Adrar desert at night, and very hot on the Senegal River.
The weather in Mauritania is marked by two main seasons:a high dry season and a low rainy season. The destination's climate is predominantly desert, which means high temperatures most of the year.
During the high season, from November to April, the temperature in Mauritania remains pleasant, especially in northern regions like Adrar, where the mercury remains moderate. This is the ideal time to explore the dunes and Saharan landscapes without suffering the extreme heat.
The low season, from May to October, corresponds to the rainy season in Mauritania, particularly in the south of the country, near the border with Senegal. While rainfall is rare in the desert regions, it can be more frequent and sustained in the greener areas.
For a camel trip to Mauritania, opt for the mild climate of the high season, which is ideal for making the most of this splendid destination.
