Prices & Departure Dates
Prices shown are per person travelling. 'Twin/Double' prices per person apply when there are 2 people travelling, sharing a room. The 'Single supplement' applies for single travellers who require their own room and needs to be added to the 'Twin/Double' price. If you are happy to be paired up with another single traveller of the same sex on your tour, this can be arranged, thus avoiding the single person supplement.
All our scheduled tour departures are guaranteed subject to a minimum of 2 travellers. To date we have not cancelled a single trip!

Great tour, trekking into the Sahara was an unforgettable experience. The guides were great, really made us feel looked after and nothing was too much trouble. A fantastic Xmas experience!
Hatem Keshk, Jan 2010
I very much enjoyed the berber camp - spending the night in the open air. The camp was well set up, clean and relaxing. Wathing sunrise from the top od the big dune next to the berber camp was definitely the highlight.
Aziz was a great guide with good sense of humour.
