★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,137 reviews · 2 days · from $113Our pick

Review of the 2-day Zagora desert safari from Marrakech, with Ait Ben Haddou, camel rides, campfire music, meals, tips, and practical advice.

“Excellent adventure into the desert that incorporated a bit of everything! Highlights were the stop at Ait Ben Haddou (our guide Said was welcoming and knowledgeable), camel ride into the desert (although 1 hour was definitely long enough!) and the hospitality of the Berber camp. We came back tired but super happy. A definite must do activity!”

“From start to finish, what a fantastic packed two days! Benjamin the driver/guide from Bokbus was an absolute gentleman and missed nothing: bravo! Stops were frequent and pertinent as we visited many interesting places en route to and from the lodge. The lodge is fantastic to be fair. The grounds are beautiful and immaculate. The huts are well equipped and quite cute to be fair. The two pools are clean and very inviting. Food and service is second to none and the dining hall is a really nice surrounding. The two drives with Zandre were incredible as we saw absolutely everything you could hope for and his educated updates were…”
