Morocco Birding Tours – Private Birdwatching Trips

March to May is the most popular time, with resident birds singing, breeding plumage and spring migration. Autumn (September to November) is also very good, and winter is excellent for the coast and wetlands. In summer the desert is very hot, so we focus on the mountains.

The wild population lives on the Atlantic coast north and south of Agadir, around Tamri and in the Souss-Massa National Park. Our Souss-Massa and 10-day tours spend time in both areas, always watching the birds from a respectful distance.

All our birdwatching tours are private. You travel only with your own party, choose your dates and can change the pace, the length of the stops and the route.

Our tours include an experienced driver-guide who knows the routes and the classic birding sites. A specialist ornithologist guide is not part of the standard itinerary. If you would like one, tell us when you enquire and we will tell you honestly what we can arrange.

Bring your own binoculars and, if possible, a telescope and tripod, together with a field guide to the birds of Morocco or the Western Palearctic. Good walking shoes, sun protection and warm layers for early mornings are also important.

Yes. Any itinerary can include visits to places such as Ait Ben Haddou, Fes or Marrakech, or a night in a desert camp near Merzouga. Tell us what you have in mind and we will adapt the plan.

The price depends on the number of travellers, the season, the length of the tour and the accommodation you prefer, so we quote each request individually. Send us your dates, group size and target species and we will reply with a detailed proposal.
