Sahara Desert Trek 2025

After phenomenal feedback from our 2023 Sahara trekkers, we’re delighted to announce that CHAS will be trekking the Sahara again in 2025 for our first ever CHAS exclusive Trek!

Experience the beauty of one of the largest and most breath-taking deserts in the world.

This Sahara trek in Morocco gives you an insight into this vast and diverse landscape as well as the Berber way of life. You will spend two full days and two half days trekking across ancient dried up river beds, sand dunes and vast sun-baked plains creating memories to last a lifetime. Camping each night gives you a chance to experience the stunning stars in the night sky and the traditional Berber cuisine cooked by the team is second to none.

The trek is challenging, meaning it is designed to be physically demanding but achievable with a good level of fitness and training. The days will be hot and the trekking will be tough, but unrivalled support is on hand to help all team members conquer this mammoth desert!
