Description : Ever wondered what life inside a desert rally bivouac is really like? In this video, I take you on a full tour of the Africa Eco Race bivouac, showing everything from the food and community areas to the service zones, competitor tents, and even the horrific toilet conditions that no one talks about.
You’ll see how the bivouac works on both loop days and moving days, where the entire camp relocates overnight. This is the reality of extreme off-road racing to Dakar—where riders battle the elements all day, only to return to basic, sometimes shocking, living conditions.
From luxury trucks to battered support vans, from the pits of doom (yes, actual pits of waste) to makeshift showers—this is the raw, unfiltered reality of rally life. If you’ve ever dreamed of racing a rally, this might just make you think twice!
