The Kounta nomads, hailing from the vast expanse of the West African Sahel, embark on a perilous quest for salt, a precious commodity essential for their survival. Driven by the relentless Saharan sun and the ever-present threat of thirst, these dauntless nomads traverse treacherous terrain, navigating through arid landscapes and unforgiving sandstorms. Their nomadic lifestyle dictates a constant search for viable grazing lands, but salt remains an elusive necessity. Through ancient knowledge and generations of experience, they follow routes etched into the unforgiving landscape, guided by the stars and the subtle shifts in the environment. Their determination is unwavering, for without salt, their herds would perish, and their way of life would be threatened.
