    [description] => 

This tour goes in search of the Western Sahara's fascinating and unique wildlife, much of which is very difficult to see elsewhere. Our primary focus will be the region's fascinating nocturnal mammals, and as such we will spend long nights spotlighting, often not returning to camp until the early hours. As a result, each day's activities will not start until mid to late afternoon, to allow sufficient time for rest. Our reward for this unusual pattern of activity, and for enduring conditions that can be quite basic in this remote region, should be sightings of some of the Western Palaearctic's rarest and most unusual mammals. Our top targets include Fennec & Ruppell's Foxes, Sand Cat, African Wildcat, Desert Hedgehog, African Golden Wolf and Saharan Striped Polecat, alongside a wide variety of smaller species such as jerboas. During our limited daytime excursions, birding could produce Crowned Sandgrouse, Cricket Warbler, Cream-coloured Courser and Dunn's Lark. The tour will start and end in the coastal town of Dakhla, from where we'll search the nearby coastline for species including West African Crested Tern and Audouin's Gull.

  • Search for exciting & elusive nocturnal creatures
  • Sand Cat, Fennec & Ruppell's Foxes, African Golden Wolf, Saharan Striped Polecat & Desert Hedgehog possible
  • Chance of Pharaoh Eagle-Owl and African Dunn's Lark
  • Other desert birds including Crowned Sandgrouse, Cream-coloured Courser, Cricket Warbler & Dunn's Lark
  • Flocks of Desert Sparrow sometimes contain the beautiful Sudan Golden Sparrow
  • Spectacular starry skies from our remote campsite 
[introduction] => An 8-day adventure in a seldom visited corner of north-west Africa, focusing on the region’s extraordinary desert wildlife including Sand Cat, Fennec Fox and Golden Nightjar. [edges] => Array ( ) [locations] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => Morocco [description] =>

Morocco is a superb wildlife destination, offering an intriguing combination of the familiar and the exotic. With its Mediterranean and Atlantic shores, this arid nation is within touching distance of Europe, and yet to visit Morocco is also to set foot in Africa, the world’s greatest wildlife continent. This unique location means that millions of migratory birds pass through and spend the winter here every year, while countless other species, including a remarkable variety of iconic mammals, butterflies, reptiles and amphibians, make their homes amidst the unforgiving deserts, high mountains and lush wetlands on the fringes of the Sahara. There is nowhere like this within such easy range of Europe, with Morocco providing an irresistible mixture of convenience and astonishing natural diversity.

The territory of Western Sahara may have a chequered history, but it is home to a remarkable collection of mouth-watering birds and mammals, many of which are almost impossible to see elsewhere, including Sand Cat and Fennec Fox On this adventurous new tour, we’ll venture deep into these windswept north-west African deserts in search of their elusive wildlife.

We’ll fly into the coastal town of Dakhla, where we’ll stay in a comfortable tourist hotel. The shores of Dakhla Bay support abundant migrant waders, as well as Audouin’s Gull and West African Crested Tern, while the critically endangered Atlantic Humpback Dolphin can occasionally be seen offshore.

Moving inland, we’ll scour the deserts for such exciting birds as Crowned Sandgrouse, Cricket Warbler, Cream-coloured Courser and Dunn’s Lark, while a flock of Desert Sparrows could contain one or two gorgeous Sudan Golden Sparrows. However, it’s at night that the landscape truly comes alive; after darkness falls, we’ll head out with spotlights in an attempt to find some of the Western Palaearctic’s most rarely seen animals. Hoped for mammals will include Sand Cat, Ruppell’s and Fennec Fox, African Golden Wolf, Saharan Striped Polecat, Desert Hedgehog and African Wildcat. This tour is predominantly focused on locating elusive nocturnal mammals, so it’s important to note that the tour will involve long nights of spotlighting, returning generally in the early hours; we will consequently not start each day’s activities until the afternoon, in order to give guides and clients sufficient time to rest. This is a tour designed for keen mammal-watchers, who are prepared to endure long nights and basic conditions for the chance to see rare and elusive wildlife.

We’ll base ourselves for three nights in a comfortable but very basic desert house, but we will also have the opportunity to spend two nights out in a remote campsite, specially set up for our visit. Please note that this campsite has very limited facilities, including no toilets. While basic, this campsite will take us close to the wildlife, and will also provide an intimate experience of this vast landscape, and magnificent views of an unadulterated night sky.

All accommodation is included in the price of the holiday. Accommodation will be in a comfortable tourist hotel in Dakhla, and a combination of camping and a basic but comfortable house in the desert. Please note that conditions at the camp and the desert house are very basic, especially at the desert camp, where facilities are very limited. In particular, there are no toilets at the desert campsite, and group members must be prepared to go to the loo behind nearby dunes. At the desert campsite, you will need to provide your own towel.

Summary

The territory of Western Sahara may have a chequered history, but it is home to a remarkable collection of mouth-watering birds and mammals, many of which are almost impossible to see elsewhere, including Sand Cat and Fennec Fox On this adventurous new tour, we’ll venture deep into these windswept north-west African deserts in search of their elusive wildlife.

We’ll fly into the coastal town of Dakhla, where we’ll stay in a comfortable tourist hotel. The shores of Dakhla Bay support abundant migrant waders, as well as Audouin’s Gull and West African Crested Tern, while the critically endangered Atlantic Humpback Dolphin can occasionally be seen offshore.

Moving inland, we’ll scour the deserts for such exciting birds as Crowned Sandgrouse, Cricket Warbler, Cream-coloured Courser and Dunn’s Lark, while a flock of Desert Sparrows could contain one or two gorgeous Sudan Golden Sparrows. However, it’s at night that the landscape truly comes alive; after darkness falls, we’ll head out with spotlights in an attempt to find some of the Western Palaearctic’s most rarely seen animals. Hoped for mammals will include Sand Cat, Ruppell’s and Fennec Fox, African Golden Wolf, Saharan Striped Polecat, Desert Hedgehog and African Wildcat. This tour is predominantly focused on locating elusive nocturnal mammals, so it’s important to note that the tour will involve long nights of spotlighting, returning generally in the early hours; we will consequently not start each day’s activities until the afternoon, in order to give guides and clients sufficient time to rest. This is a tour designed for keen mammal-watchers, who are prepared to endure long nights and basic conditions for the chance to see rare and elusive wildlife.

We’ll base ourselves for three nights in a comfortable but very basic desert house, but we will also have the opportunity to spend two nights out in a remote campsite, specially set up for our visit. Please note that this campsite has very limited facilities, including no toilets. While basic, this campsite will take us close to the wildlife, and will also provide an intimate experience of this vast landscape, and magnificent views of an unadulterated night sky.
