100kms Desert Hike or Camel
Trek & Conservation Awareness
Morocco, North West Africa
This opportunity is exceptional. Beginning at a stunning kasbah, in an ancient village of only 80 families, your group has the choice of either an unassisted hike, camel-assisted hike, or camel riding trek into the incredibly beautiful region of the western Sahara. Our routes do not take us into extremely remote areas of 'the big empty', you will never the less have an epic desert challenge, and one that will live in the memory for many years to come.
