I first travelled in the Sahara in 1982 and since 1989 (right) have run occasional desert tours with motorcycles, 4x4s and camels. For more about me, click my picture, above left.
I run small groups to little-visited places or follow unusual itineraries that inspire me, working with local guides, agencies and other service providers I’ve got to know and trust over the years.

In 2006, just after the second edition of my Sahara Overland guidebook was published, I ran an eclipse tour to Niger and an ambitious crossing of the Saharan ‘Empty Quarter’ from the Atlantic to the Libyan frontier. I’ve led several motorcycle tours in Libya and Algeria and for over a decade ran fly & ride one-weekers in Morocco. I’ve also led 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.

I don’t produce a regular programme of tours or downloadable brochures. I never send out annoying newsletters or collect mailing lists. I don’t do Facebook or pay to advertise anywhere. This page and the tours listed above are all there is, I do have a Sahara channel on YouTube and an Instagram where I very occasionally post stuff.
Please contact me about a self-guided route in Morocco (tracklog/pdf) or just to find out what else might be possible, a private tour or what may be coming.
