Morocco Wildlife Photography
Morocco's dramatic contrast of soaring mountains and endless desert sand makes it one of North Africa's most rewarding destinations for wildlife photographers, offering a chance to capture species rarely seen elsewhere on the continent. From the elusive Fennec Fox to a host of specialist desert birds and reptiles, the country rewards patience with genuinely unique subjects set against striking, sun-baked landscapes.
Species NaturesLens Photographs in Morocco
NaturesLens runs its Fennec Foxes & other Moroccan Wildlife holiday in May, travelling through the Atlas Mountains and out into the Saharan Desert, with stops around Boumalne Dades, Errachidia and Merzouga. Across these locations, NaturesLens photographs the Fennec Fox alongside a strong supporting cast of desert specialists, including the African Houbara Bustard, Bar-tailed Lark, Black-crowned Sparrow-Lark, Cream-coloured Courser, Desert Warbler and Thick-billed Lark. The trip also gives photographers opportunities to capture the Egyptian Nightjar, as well as reptiles such as the Desert Monitor and Horned Viper, rounding out a varied portfolio of Morocco's arid-land wildlife.
