I was there recently, and I didn't die from Hitchhiking to 2 hours south of Agadir from Tangier.

But it's Africas, it's not the same rules as in Europe.

But in my oppinion you should be fine getting to Dakar by bus/taxi and hitchhiking.

I hitched to Nouakchott last year. Hippies do it on a weekly basis, judging from all the French names I saw in hotel guestbooks who give their occupation as 'Artiste'
Check out this badass girl's blog. She's giving it a better write-up than I could.

Is it dangerous? Not even slightly. Is it adventurous? Depends on your perspective. It's certainly unforgettable. I'd love to do it again and get to Dakar.

It's pretty necessary that you speak French. Otherwise the only thing I'd say is don't let anyone in morocco sell you cigarettes to smuggle south. Tobacco is actually cheaper the further south you go.

Great, I figured Mauritania would be problematic but it doesn't seem so.

The southern border of Western Sahara isn't an issue, is it? I recall watching a documentary where some guy had to drive through a minefield, but I think he was going Eastwards.

Alas, my French is pretty weak. If I communicate with basic phrases and keep a written document with details of itinerary in French, could I make it?
