Location: in the Tassili, far from town
The camp is in the Tassili n'Ajjer, north-west of Djanet, several dozen kilometres from town, in the Tikoubaouine area. It is reached by 4x4 on desert tracks, not by ordinary car.
Transfers from Djanet or the airport are not automatically included; arrangements and price must be confirmed before you travel. Ask our team to put you in touch before booking.
The Tassili n'Ajjer cultural park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is famous for its thousands of rock engravings and paintings, its stone forests and its wind-carved sandstone arches.
Tents and comfort
Guests sleep in tents, with simple shared washing facilities, as in most desert camps. In the evening, camp life centres on the fire, under a sky full of stars.
Do not expect hotel comfort: bring warm clothes, as winter nights are cold in the Tassili, a head torch, and charge your phone before you leave.
The meals included depend on the rate you choose; they are shown on each offer before you book. Check-in and check-out times are given on your voucher.
What to see around the camp
The Tikoubaouine area is famous for its arches and sandstone formations, among the most photographed landscapes of the Tassili. Further afield, the Erg Admer, Essendilène and the Tadrart are classic trips from Djanet.
Excursions are made with a local guide, by 4x4 or on foot. Their programme and price are not included in the night's rate unless stated on the offer.
Access rules for the park and for sites in the deep south can change: check with our team before you go, and check the official travel advice of your own country.
Who is it for? When to go?
Safari Algeria Camp suits adventurous travellers, photographers and stargazers who want a night in the open desert. It is less suited to those looking for a room with a private bathroom: for that, choose a place to stay in town.
The season runs from October to March; in summer the heat makes the desert hard going. The end-of-year holidays are in high demand, so book early. For a full trip including flights, see also our Djanet organised tour page.
