Zagora Trip Overview
A desert trek is an adventure that many travelers say come out of it grown up and deeply relaxed. They have come out of their little comfort and are happy and proud of the physical effort they have made. They discovered the sense of hospitality and the know-how of the nomads. They were delighted by the beauty of the landscapes and challenged by this wide open space that is the desert.
Often the outward journey is accompanied by an inner journey.
We are particularly sensitive to this, because the desert is the heritage of our ancestors, and we are steeped in it. Before being a place of accommodation for travelers, our bivouac is a place of community life and work. The team asks only to share with you their knowledge, experience and love for their native land. Finally, each traveler or group of travelers being unique, it will easily adapt to your pace and your expectations.

Itinerary
At 9 o’clock in the morning, we meet at the bivouac to get to know each other and organize the loading of the camels. When everything is ready, the caravan sets off for this first day of trekking. About 5 hours of walking per day (20 km), a good lunch break to eat and rest. In the evening, the guide and the cook set up camp for the night and prepare a substantial meal for us. During 3 days, our journey takes us through varied landscapes and terrains. Walking in these large open spaces, the simplicity of life in a bivouac, immersion in nature and the silence of the desert are an experience often described as deeply refreshing. On the evening of the 3rd day, we arrive at the magnificent site of the large dunes of Chegaga where we can climb to admire the sunset.
The next day, the 4×4 picks us up for the return trip. In 3 hours, we make the route of our three days of walking in the opposite direction and discover the landscape in a different way. At the bivouac a hot shower and a last midday meal await us.
End of stay, goodbye and thank you all.
