THE MOST INCREDIBLE ROUTE IS PLANNED FOR 2024
In 2024 the rally returns to West Africa, what’s shaping up to be the longest and most demanding route of the Budapest-Bamako.  We’ve ventured this long and deep into the heart of West Africa. The route is expected to be spectacular and difficult and as always, full of unexpected twists, turns and adventure. For teams in racing and 4×4 adventures the route will be stunning and very demanding. For bikers natural beauty, varied landscapes and backbreaking routes are expected.

START – BUDAPEST JANUARY 26, 2024
The rally will once again depart from one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, Budapest.

EUROPE
There will be only one extra long marathon stage in Europe. Teams will have to get to Genoa or one of the Spanish ports for the ferry crossing. Race tasks will only take place in Hungary and Slovenia on the night of the start.

MOROCCO
Spectacular mountain roads, rocky paths across the Atlas and the Sarhro will take teams to the Bani mountains and old Dakar pistes. The rally will travel on the warmer, less wet Eastern side of the country thus avoiding rain and snow. Morocco will be demanding with its complex stages but the days will be shorter giving ample time to experience and discover this amazing country.  In an around Zagora and Erg Chigaga teams will get a glimpse of touareg life and Saharan cultures before continuing onto the dirt tracks of the Sahara. The rally will spend a night around the secret thermal spring of Dakhla.

MAURITANIA
The rally will visit Mauritania’s most spectacular places with some classic destinations and pure Saharan driving.  Expect golden sand dunes, soft desert paths and fast salt flats. We’ll pass through the Banc D’Arguin National Park and return to the B2 Beach named after the rally. Extreme off-road teams and race teams will have a chance to driving in the deep sands of the Sahara.

SENEGAL
Grassy, bushy savannas will welcome the rally in Senegal. Experience traditional African village life under ancient baobab trees as you navigate along dusty donkey tracks. Watch hippos and crocodiles in the Gambia river or visit the Simenti National Park to hang out with monkeys. We’re hosting two festivals on the savanna in Senegal featuring local bands and DJs.

GUINEA
Dry savannas will be replaced by densely forested, wet green areas. We’ll pass through mountainous plateaus from central Guinea through northern Sierra Leone. The rally will visits the Fouta Djallon highlands in central Guinea.

SIERRA LEONE
From Guinea we will enter the magical land of Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone is one of the world’s most overlooked tourist destinations.  Palm tree lined sandy beaches and quaint African villages await on the last stages of the rally. The day before the finish we’re throwing a huge beach party in Bureh Beach complete with seafood chefs and local musicians. Finish line ceremonies are expected to be held at the country’s national stadium.
