On the open plain outside Maroua in the Far North, Fulani herders lead traditional Saharan camels on short treks. A one-hour ride with a herdsman guide gives you a small sense of the trans-Saharan caravan trade that made Maroua a historic commercial junction.
Did you know
The camels used in the Far North are dromedaries (one hump), domesticated in the Arabian Peninsula around 3,000 BC and introduced into sub-Saharan Africa by trans-Saharan trade routes over a millennium ago.
