Spend two long but rewarding days traveling from Marrakech to Zagora with an English or French-speaking driver-guide. Visit Ait Ben Haddou, cross the High Atlas, ride camels at sunset and sunrise, and sleep in a private Berber-style tent with dinner, drums, and campfire music.

“the tour was really good, everything went well and was able to see landscapes that I wouldn't have seen otherwise. On our way to the desert we stopped many times to appreciate the views, eat and visit ait benhaddou for example. The tent in the desert was really great and loved to see the stars from there. Sunrise from the dunes was also so good. I also want to thank our amazing driver Housayn imlil that drove 6+ hours on day one and other 6+ hours on day two, bringing everyone safely to destination. He also brought everyone back to different drop off locations as we had different hotels”

“Winner! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Andre: So many animals! Staying overnight is the way to go, for sure. I loved falling asleep to the howling howler monkeys and waking up to chirping birds and squirrel monkeys. Sirena station was comfortable, clean and airy (everything is open-air), and the food was fresh, delicious and plentiful. I would suggest bringing a pair of socks or clean flipflops as your “indoor” shoes since outdoor shoes are not allowed in the station. And be prepared for mud and humidity/rain during the hikes. The mosquitoes weren’t as bad as i had feared, but bug dope was definitely necessary for me. We had a…”

14.2-Day Wildlife Tour with Safaris and Luxury Stay

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 51 reviews · 2 days · from $534

Leave Cape Town or Stellenbosch early for two safari drives, one night near Oudtshoorn, and a long return along Route 62. You may spot rhinos, buffalo, giraffes, and smaller wildlife. Guides such as Maudi, Dylan, and Denver have earned praise, but expect about 900 km of road travel.

“Résultat mitigé. Dylan, le guide était top. Je le recommande vivement. Le programme est intense sur les 2 jours avec de longs trajets de 6h. Mais vous n’avez pas le choix si vous venez de Captown. Les van ne sont pas confortables. Concernant les 2 safari, cela me paraissait plus être un grand zoo sans enclos plutôt qu’un safari. J’ai moins apprécié le 1er safari Bufflesdrift car plus petit et beaucoups moins d’animaux. En revanche les lodges surplace et l’environnement étaient magnifiques. Il n’y avait pas de lions dans les 2 réserves. Suppléments éléphant cher, mais sympa car nous avons pu les approcher de très près et de les toucher.…”
