There is no shortage of excursions and activities on offer. Camel rides at sunset and sunrise are not to be missed as the views of the endless golden sands are unrivalled.

The vast golden deserts are home to the likes of the Fennec fox while the desert dwellers include the golden jackal, the screwhorn antelope, rodents, and the addax. Avid birders should head to the Souss-Massa National Park as it provides a habitat for three colonies of the northern bald ibis.

 

Tunisia Safari

Steeped in history and packed with diverse natural beauty, Tunisia is a fantastic getaway destination for travellers. Along with the sandy Meditteranean coastline and its beaches, the country boasts a varied landscape defined by the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert, forested coastlines, shimmering salt flats, and bustling cobblestoned streets filled with the scent of jasmine and sea breeze.

The main drawcard for tourists is the stunning stretches of sandy beaches along the Mediterranean coast, with the clear waters at Plage de la Mansoura the most popular. For the adventurers, there are numerous tour operators that organise activities such as camel riding, waterskiing and snorkelling.

The wildlife and birdlife of Tunisia are exceptional for a relatively small country. El Feija National Park holds great aesthetic appeal. The ancient oak forests provide the ideal habitat for forest-dwelling creatures such as foxes, dormouse, deer and the elusive golden jackal.
