Buggy and Bike Safari Tour in Morocco

The Buggy and Bike Safari is the tour Motor Adventures built for mixed groups. Two people who want completely different things from a week in the desert, one on two wheels and one behind a wheel, end up on the same trail, at the same camp, telling the same stories at dinner. The framing is southern Morocco, the part of the country where the mountains give out and the ground turns to stone, gravel and sand. Motor Adventures work this region all season and the safari uses the terrain that suits both vehicles: rocky mountain tracks that reward line choice, sandy stretches where momentum is everything, and long open sections where a buggy can stretch its legs and a bike can settle into a rhythm. The rhythm of the week is briefing, then progressively bigger days, then the return. It begins with arrival, vehicle handover and a briefing on convoy discipline, which matters more here than on a road tour because dust and spacing become safety issues once the group is moving. The middle days are the safari proper, with dune and desert riding at their centre, and the closing days bring the group back to the start point. Riding is guided throughout, with support on hand, which is the reason to do this rather than hire a bike and improvise: the desert here is not forgiving of navigation errors, and a mechanical failure a long way from a road is a serious problem. Enduro experience helps on the bikes, while the buggies open the trip to partners and friends who do not ride. Accommodation, meals, fuel, vehicle rental and guiding are covered by the tour price. Flights, travel insurance and personal spending are not. Because this particular itinerary is not currently listed among Motor Adventures' published Morocco tours, riders should contact the operator directly to confirm dates, the exact route and which vehicles are available before making travel arrangements. The operator's other southern Morocco tours cover similar ground on similar machinery if the safari is not running.

A six-day safari through the south of Morocco that puts riders on enduro bikes and drivers in buggies on the same tracks, so a group can mix the two without splitting up. The terrain is the draw: rocky mountain trails, sandy sections and open desert country, ridden at a pace that suits the vehicle rather than the clock. Motor Adventures run it as an off-road tour rather than a sightseeing loop, with days built around driving and riding time and evenings spent out in the desert. Bikes are KTM enduro machinery, the same 450 and 690 models used across the operator's Moroccan programme, and the package covers accommodation, meals, fuel, vehicle hire and guiding. Travel insurance, flights and personal spending are separate. Confirm current dates, exact route and vehicle availability with the operator before booking.
