Sahara Desert Trek 2024

Join us on this long-weekend trek, as we experience the beauty of one of the largest and most breath-taking deserts in the world.

The challenge is to trek for four days through this ever-changing landscape and to climb to the top of the massive Chegaga Dunes, where you will witness the desert sun-rise. You’ll sleep under a blanket of stars and create memories to last a lifetime. Vista’s as far as the eye can see combined with the pleasure of having the volcanic Anti-Atlas Mountains as our backdrop – need we say more!

With traditional Berbers as our guides you’ll experience the delights of Morocco first hand, in addition to being mesmerised by the remoteness and solitude that the Sahara brings.

This trek is graded Challenging, meaning it is designed to be physically demanding but achievable with a good level of fitness and training. The days will be hot and the trekking will be tough, but unrivalled support is on hand to help all team members conquer this mammoth desert!
