Morocco
We would like to welcome you to our most popular expedition destination to date: southern Morocco.
The Morocco Expedition is filled to the brim with adventure. During the trip we'll be crossing vast desert plains and beautiful oases in search of some of the most iconic reptile species of North Africa. Next to the pitch black Moroccan cobra, you'll have the chance to encounter horned vipers, puff adders, Mediterranean chameleons, Ruppell’s foxes and many other incredible herp, mammal, arthropod and bird species.
We will cover a large area of the country by road cruising for reptiles, but we’ll also hike the dunes and swim in desert oases in search for our targets. Besides looking around for animals, we'll be actively helping the local populations as well. Morocco is riddled with cisterns used for pipelines and water collection. Every year, many animals fall into these traps, making them their graves. Some of these pits can even threaten the existence of entire local populations of reptiles and amphibians. One of our main objectives will be to locate the cisterns, rescue the animals inside and seal them off.
We’ll be staying in a fantastic eco-lodge in the middle of a desert oasis and spend some nights under the stars in the middle of the desert.
Join us on this once-in-a-lifetime trip. You won’t regret it!
