Vivac salvaje en el desierto

Wild Bivouac in the Desert is a unique adventure in southern Tunisia. For this excursion, camels are essential for getting around. In the desert, you only find what you bring. Camels are tireless walkers and can carry up to 300 kg of luggage. For a bivouac, you need tents, mattresses, blankets, food, water, and kitchen equipment. They also carry your bags, so you can walk light.

You can do this experience for just one night. Though short, it will leave unforgettable memories. You leave in the afternoon, around 3:00 PM in winter, or 4:30 PM when it’s warmer. For 1.5 to 2 hours, you walk on the dromedaries or beside them. Then, before nightfall, the camel drivers set up the bivouac, and you help gather wood for the fire.

The magic of a Wild Bivouac night

When night falls, you enjoy a delicious couscous by the wood fire. After dinner comes traditional green tea. While sipping tea, people talk, tell stories, and sing. When it’s time to sleep, you choose: under the tent or under the stars. When the weather is clear, which it most often is, the sky is extraordinary. The luminous night, free from pollution, offers countless sparkling stars. The silence is total.

We provide tents, mattresses, and two blankets per person. Bring a sleeping bag if possible; if not, we lend one. At sunrise, breakfast is ready. The flatbread baked in the sand is eaten hot with jam, cheese, olive oil, and biscuits, a real treat. After breakfast, you return to the starting point.

This excursion is exclusively private and requires a minimum of two participants. You will be the only ones in the vehicle, enjoying the experience at your own pace, away from tourist crowds.
