Horned Viper at Saharan Desert
The southeastern fringes of Morocco, where the Atlas Mountains dissolve into the stony hamada plains, dune fields, and scattered acacia scrub of the Saharan Desert, offer photographers a chance to encounter the Horned Viper on its own terms. This transitional desert edge suits the species well, and patient observers exploring the region in May stand a good chance of a sighting. Those joining the Fennec Foxes & other Moroccan Wildlife holiday will find this rugged, sun-baked terrain forms a fitting backdrop for images of the viper amid its stark surroundings. It's a rewarding subject for anyone keen to document the quieter, reptilian side of Morocco's desert wildlife.
