Camel treks are a classic Saharan adventure. Our guides can help arrange any number of exciting camel treks that vary from hours to days depending on your interest. In fact, some tourists just want to get up on a camel and have their picture taken - that can be arranged, too.
One popular trek includes going out to the Djebok market (held on every Monday, 45 Km from Gao) and then taking a camel trek either in that area or for several days all the way back to Gao.
Experience: Gao Camel Treks
Description: Travel like the Tuareg's do for as long as you want...hours or days at a time based on your interest.
Time Required: Varies based on trip
Price: Varies based on trip
Schedule: 7 days per week
Additional Tip: Camel riding can be a little bit uncomfortable if you've never done it before, much like riding a horse...keep this in mind when planning your own Lawrence of Arabia adventure.
