Sahara Desert Trek

A challenging trek against the backdrop of the awe-inspiring Sahara Desert, this adventurous trip offers a unique desert experience.

From flat desert floor scattered with ancient fossils, to perfect wind-blown sand-dunes, this trek is diverse and demanding. The vast, unforgiving desert is a truly beautiful place to discover, while the incredible star-strewn night skies are unforgettable, especially with a new moon.

Accompanied by Berber guides and a small caravan of camels, the remote night-camps with camp-fires and Berber singing are often a real highlight of this Sahara trekking adventure!

There are multiple payment options for this trip. All payment options have an initial £249 registration fee.

For fundraising and part payment options, 50% of your fundraising target will cover the cost of your place. The remaining will go to Macmillan.

For the full payment option, 100% of your fundraising will go to Macmillan.

Please note that not everyone on the trip will be taking part for Macmillan and may be fundraising for other great causes.
