4 Days Birding Tour To Marrakech

Join us for a 4 Days Birding Tour To Marrakech as we meet you in Marrakech and head straight into the stunning High Atlas Mountains. Our first stop will be Oukaimeden, nestled at 2600m, where the landscape changes dramatically from cultivated fields to rugged mountain slopes. As we journey through, keep an eye out for an array of fascinating resident species such as the Southern Grey Shrike, Little Owl, Sardinian Warbler, Spotless Starling, and the ever-charming Moroccan Magpie.

As we climb higher, the rocky terrain becomes home to the elusive Blue Rock Thrush and the endemic Levaillant’s Green Woodpecker. Upon reaching the ski resort at Oukaimeden, we’ll scour the snowline for the striking African Crimson-winged Finch, along with other high-altitude gems like the Rock Sparrow, Black Wheatear, Alpine Chough, and the unique Atlas Horned Lark. After a day of unforgettable birding, we’ll enjoy a delicious dinner and rest in the tranquil beauty of the Atlas Mountains, ready for more adventures ahead!

After a hearty breakfast, we bid farewell to the mountains and go on a scenic 4 Days Birding Tour To Marrakech, with a brief stop along the way to search once more for the elusive Levaillant’s Green Woodpecker. As we make our way from the flat plains of Marrakech, we drive upwards, crossing the breathtaking Tizi-n-Tichka pass (2260 meters), a route that offers spectacular views and unforgettable moments. Along this route, we’ll be on the lookout for another endemic species—the Tristram’s Warbler.

This little beauty can be tricky to find, as it has very specific habitat needs away from its wintering grounds. As we ascend, the sky may surprise us with soaring raptors like the Long-legged Buzzard and Bonelli’s Eagle. Before we reach Boumalne du Dades, we'll make a special stop in Amerzgane, where we hope to spot the rare and stunning Maghreb Wheatear. After a day filled with birding adventures, we'll enjoy a delightful dinner and settle in for a restful night in the charming Boumalne du Dades, ready for more exploration tomorrow.

We’ll start our day bright and early, heading straight to the famous Tagdilt Track—undoubtedly one of the prime birding hotspots in southern Morocco. This area offers an incredible opportunity to spot a variety of species, including the striking Red-rumped Wheatear, Thekla Lark, Temminck’s Lark, Short-toed Lark, and the elusive Cream-coloured Courser.

If the heat permits, we’ll spend the majority of the day enjoy the beauty of this birding paradise, keeping our eyes peeled for nomadic treasures like the Thick-billed Lark and Trumpeter Finch. After exploring the open plains, we’ll venture into a rocky canyon to search for the Maghreb Wheatear and Desert Lark. As the afternoon winds down, we’ll drive towards Ouarzazate for a relaxing evening. After a rewarding day in the field, we’ll enjoy a delicious dinner and comfortable overnight stay in Ouarzazate, ready for more adventure ahead.

After a hearty breakfast at our accommodation, we’ll begin our journey back to Marrakech, marking the end of our unforgettable 4-day birding adventure. As we drive through the stunning landscapes we’ve explored, you'll have a chance to reflect on the incredible bird species and breathtaking scenery we've encountered together. This 4 Days Birding Tour To Marrakech may be coming to a close, but the memories of Morocco’s avian life and dramatic landscapes will stay with you long after.
