A life changing adventure with Brahim. - Brahim took us on our 3 day Berber desert adventure. He is such a beautiful man. His knowledge, humour, kindness and philosophies could teach many of us lifelong lessons. We started out by camel and spent nights is beautiful camps nestled amongst some of the most beautiful landscape that we have ever seen. We can highly recommend that you book Brahim for any of your nature-based Moroccan adventures.

Incredible Sahara experience - We had a fantastic time on our trip into the Moroccan Sahara with Brahim and his team. The sight of the sand dunes was absolutely spectacular and we had lots of fun exploring and playing in the sand. Looking up at the stars from around the fire at night was truly magical. Brahim is a very knowledgeable guide and always on hand to answer any questions we had about our surroundings. The food also deserves a mention as it was fantastic and plentiful with tea and snacks in between meals as well. Brahim and his team were also able to cater to our vegetarian and vegan dietary requirements and the meals were all restaurant standard or better!

A fantastic experience we will never forget! - This experience was truly unforgettable, from the food to the dunes to the accommodation! everything was spectacular we felt so welcomed and taken care of during our trip to the Sahara desert and WOW what a beautiful place it was! We highly recommend anyone thinking of going to the Sahara desert to go with a professional guide, to get the ultimate traditional experience, filled with knowledge of the landscape and culture and is also a great entertainer, like Brahim. We miss it already and wish we never left, what a magical place and experience we had in the Sahara.

Beautiful experience in the Sahara - We were first invited to Brahim's home in Zagora for a home-cooked lunch together with his family and the rest of the group. The first trip on a camel was very nice. Beautiful and very interesting animals! Both camps were extremely comfortable. Brahim told us a lot about Amazigh history around the campfire. The food was excellent. The second day we drove the jeep through the plains past nomadic settlements and nature parks. Upon arrival at the second camp, the immense dunes awaited us! After lunch we spent the entire afternoon in the sand sandboarding and enjoying a beautiful sunset. A unique experience! Thanks Brahim

Sahara memories for life - I did a Sahara desert tour to Erg Chegaga, not so far from Brahim’s home in Zagora. What makes the whole experience really special is that Brahim comes from generations of Berber and Amazigh culture, so the tour is as authentic as it can get. Highlights for me were sand boarding, camel riding, star gazing and the amazing Tajine from the camp chef. For the price, I think it is great value and a must-do for anyone visiting Morocco.

Stays & desert tour with Brahim - Brahim is an excellent tour guide and host. Our tour to Erg Chegaga was particularly enriching thanks to his over 30 years of experience as a guide. We were able to benefit from his extensive knowledge and friendly manner. Thank you, Brahim!

Amazing adventure in the Sahara - An amazing experience! We went three days and two nights into the desert. Brahim made sure we had everything taken care of and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. This trip was everything you would want in a Sahara adventure. We rode on camels, we went sandboarding, we slept under the stars, we hiked in the sand dunes, we had some amazing sunsets, and geat food. There was even some Berber magic. If you are a thrill seeker and are looking for a unique desert experience, this is the trip for you. Brahim will make sure you enjoy yourself and get the true Sahara desert experience. Do yourself a favor and book with trip. You will not be disappointed.

Unforgettable experience! Don't hesitate to have it! - If you come to Morocco and are planning to visit the Sahara desert then this is your way. I've been warned many times about the scams occurring in Marrakech in which they take you to other parts of the desert which are not as special and amazing to where Brahim guides you. The whole thing was perfect: having lunch in a local Berber family house and sharing their culture the first day, riding with the camels through the desert to the first camp, sleeping under the stars, sandboarding, campfire, traditional music, sunset and sunrise on the huge sand dunes and much more. Both of the camps are really nice and can meet up your needs. Comfortable beds, showers, toilets and restaurant tent were available. Brahim is a great guide with lots of knowledge and patience which makes it a great person to organize this experience. Anything you need, you just ask him and he'll try to solve it for you. As well he could adapt the trip itinerary or details if you ask in advance. Typical meals were included and served which I appreciated very much. The camps are big enough for you to walk aroung or choose to be by yourself of you want to. I shared my trip with a Canadian fellow and a French couple and had a great time with all of them! I definitely recommend this experience to everyone: solo travelers, couples or families. You will love this trip and the incredible Sahara Desert energy.
