Occasionally I run tours with small groups to little-visited places, or seek out unusual itineraries that inspire me, working with local guides, UK agencies and other service providers I’ve got to know and trust over the years.

For autumn 2026 I’m thrilled to be working again with established UK agency Amelia Stewart Travel, on a long range 4×4 tour exploring the northern Ténéré and amazing Tadrart region of far southeastern Algeria. Our tour will end with an overnight trek around the iconic landmark of Mt Tiska. Click the link in the table above or download the 4×4 tour pdf here.

Having run treks in the Immidir many years ago (video above), Amelia and I are also finalising a 12-day camel trek in the little visited central Tassili region, east of the famous Oued Djerat, in Algeria. Walking around 15-km a day, we will pass many sites of prehistoric rock art, including the fabulous tableaux visited by Phillipe Diolé in his book, The Most Beautiful Desert of All (1955), as well as the ‘Lost Oasis’ of Ihreri. More on that one shortly.

I don’t produce a regular programme of tours or downloadable brochures. I never send out newsletters or collect mailing lists. I don’t have a Facebook page or pay to advertise anywhere, and very infrequently post on Instagram or YouTube. This Tours page is all there is. Fork a self-guided route in Morocco (tracklog/pdf), or just to find out what else might be possible, such as a private tour, or is in the pipeline, please contact me

Leading tours in the Sahara since 1989
I first travelled in the Sahara in 1982 and since 1989 (right and above) have run occasional desert tours with motorcycles, 4x4s and camels.. In 2006, just after the second edition of my Sahara Overland guidebook (left) was published, I ran an eclipse tour to Niger as well as an ambitious crossing of the Saharan ‘Empty Quarter’ from the Atlantic to the Libyan frontier. I’ve also led several motorcycle tours in Libya and Algeria, and for over a decade offered fly & ride one-weekers in Morocco. I’ve also taken camel trekking tours in Algeria, and with the help of contributors wrote a camel trekking e-guidebook to go with my biking and car handbooks.
