Summary

Southern Morocco is a wonderful destination for a holiday focusing on reptiles and amphibians. Humid tropical specialities including Mediterranean Chameleon, Puff Adder and Egyptian Cobra live an hour’s drive from desert specialists such as the Desert Horned Viper, Moroccan Spiny-tailed Lizard and Desert Monitor. We will go in search of diurnal species during the day and venture out after dark to look for the region's exciting nocturnal species. Likely birds include Northern Bald Ibis, Lanner Falcon, the stunning Moussier's Redstart and many others. Mammals we are likely to encounter include Greater Egyptian Jerboa, North African Elephant Shrew and Rüppell's Fox, with a chance for numerous other species. With few tourists making it south of Agadir, we will also get a true taste of authentic southern Morocco, staying in comfortable and traditional accommodation throughout.

An optional 3-day extension offers the chance to enjoy the High Atlas region of Oukaïmeden, home to such specialities as Mountain Viper, Atlas Day Gecko, North African Eyed Lizard and Moroccan Painted Frog.

The wonderful food, hospitable people and incredible scenery will certainly make this a most memorable wildlife holiday. This exciting tour is part of our portfolio of herpetology holidays.
