Safari Day in the desert

This non riding day is devoted to a superb 4X4 excursion into the desert on the legendary Dakar Rally tracks, crossing stretches of desert and the lunar landscapes of the dry Lake Iriki. The wheels bite into the sand, the dust rises, and the silence of the desert envelops the travelers. In the distance, the first dunes of Chegaga emerge, majestic and wild, guardians of the Great Moroccan South. In the evening, a nomadic bivouac welcomes you to the heart of the sands, between mint tea and traditional songs. Under a constellated sky, lulled by the rhythms of the tams-tams, the desert offers you a night out of time.

About your organizer

Butterfly Motorcycle Tours in Morocco began more than 20 years ago when Réda Jabri, a Moroccan native, after 5 years with an international audit and consultancy firm, decided to make a radical career change. “The various assignments I have carried out throughout Morocco as an auditor have enabled me to discover just how many treasures and wonders my country abounds in, so it seemed obvious to me that sharing these treasures was going to become my new career path”.
