Join an Expedition

Join an Expedition to embark on a roughly two-week journey into the heart of Mauritania’s Sahara Desert to study one of Earth’s most enigmatic geological formations — the massive circular feature known as the Eye of the Sahara. This mission serves as an early scientific survey, combining geological and archaeological fieldwork to  uncover potential anthropological traces and document the region’s unique geologic history. 

This two-week expedition will traverse the High Atlas Mountains and descend into the Dades Gorge, following  wildlife corridors in search of the elusive Barbary Leopard (Panthera pardus pardus) — one of North Africa’s most critically endangered predators.
The survey will also record populations of Barbary Macaques, raptors, and endemic mountain flora to help assess ecosystem health and guide future conservation efforts.

The Tepui Highlands Expedition ventures into the remote plateau region of Guyana’s ancient tepuis — vast sandstone towers rising from the rainforest, isolated for millions of years and rich with undiscovered life. Join a  two-week journey that brings scientists and explorers on a mission to search for new species of mushrooms, insects, amphibians, and other fauna. Guided by local experts and supported by the Expedition Nexus team.
