Azalaï: The Salt Caravans of Northern Africa | SLICE | FULL DOCUMENTARY

In Northern Mali, the Kounta nomads continue their age-old tradition of traversing the desert to reach the salt mines of southern Algeria. Over 40 days, they cover 1500 km on foot to obtain 6 tonnes of "white gold" from the Taoudenni mines. This epic journey, known as Azalai, is a testament to their resilience and endurance.

[@mikebarton]

This video is on four different channels, that I've seen, and likely more. I wonder if the makers have ever got full credit.
Slice, where did you get it from?

[@ZimkaLulu]

All music came from Afrika of you listen to the cultural and indigenous people play traditional instruments you'd be perplexed at how rich the crater of humanity truly is

Hi SLICE Love from India ❤
Please use high end DSLR camera need more HD clarity

[@NPCoppa]

Oh, I don’t think they make the documentary. I think they just buy the rights and post it to RUclips so we can watch it for free.

[@sminem2267]

this documentary is from 2006, please reconsider before posting stupid comments like yours in the future !

[@henriknielsen9674]

These people make more money on taking part in documentaries, that selling salt 😅
