Make A Booking Enquiry

Southern Morocco is open & exposed. South of the Atlas Mountains, the land breaks into wide gravel plains, dry riverbeds & dune systems where visibility stretches for kilometres. Mornings are cool & still, with colour building quickly as the sun rises, while evenings bring fast-falling temperatures as heat leaves the ground. Light changes rapidly, rewarding early starts & careful positioning.

Wildlife activity follows clear patterns tied to temperature & time of day. Birds move early, often flying low across open ground before heat builds. Mammals appear briefly at dusk, keeping to the edges of dunes & plains rather than crossing open terrain. Reptiles surface only in narrow temperature windows, when conditions allow movement without prolonged exposure. Photography here depends on timing rather than volume.

This trip is structured to work with those rhythms. Days are planned around light & temperature rather than fixed timetables, allowing sessions to extend or pause as conditions dictate. Travel is by private 4×4, with time spent on foot where needed to work angles & backgrounds. Group sizes are kept small, with experienced guidance focused on reading behaviour, anticipating movement & refining composition in open environments.

Our guests will leave with images shaped by restraint rather than spectacle. The emphasis is on clean backgrounds, controlled light & behaviour-led encounters, alongside a stronger understanding of how to work in arid conditions. This is a trip that sharpens fieldcraft as much as portfolios, rewarding patience, observation & precision.
