Wild Bivouac in the Desert

For the wild bivouac excursion in the desert of Tunisia, camels are essential to move around. Obviously, in the desert you can only find what you bring, camels are tireless walkers and they can carry up to 300 kg of luggage… And for a bivouac in the desert you need tents, mattresses , blankets, food, water, and all the kitchen equipment… Of course they also carry your bags. You can walk light!

At a minimum, you can do this experience for just one night.
Although the duration is short, it will leave you with unforgettable memories and will surely make you want to come back for longer.

You will leave with the dromedaries and their camel drivers in the afternoon, around 3 am in winter, around 4.30 pm when it is warmer.

For 1h30 or 2 hours you will walk (on the dromedaries or next to it… you have the choice).
Then, before nightfall, your camel drivers will set up the bivouac and you can help find the wood to make the fire.

When night falls, it’s time to enjoy a delicious couscous by the wood fire.
After dinner, it is the preparation of the traditional green tea. Traditionally it is during the tasting of the tea that we speak, that we tell stories, that we sing…

When it’s time to go to bed, you have to find your place to sleep. According to your desire, the temperature, the wind, you choose to sleep under the tent or under the stars. When the weather is clear, most of the time, the sky is extraordinary. The luminous night, without pollution offers the landscape of these sparkling and numerous stars. The silence is total…
For your comfort we provide tents, mattresses and 2 blankets per person. If possible bring a sleeping bag, if you don’t have one we have some to lend…

When you wake up, at sunrise, breakfast is ready. A good smell of bakery!!! the flatbread baked in the sand, it is eaten hot with jam, cheese, olive oil and biscuits… A real treat.
Then, after breakfast, it’s time to set off again and return to the starting point.
