An overnight in the Sahara at Camp Zmela
Wildyness planned our 4-day tour across the southern end of Tunisia, including an overnight at Camp Zmela in the Sahara. We had a wonderful personal driver for the entire trip, and were met by local guides at each place we visited. All the guides were good, but Amor was outstanding! We were very pleased with our trip and recommend Wildyness for anyone traveling to this part of Tunisia.

Le désert tunisien restera inoubliable
Le choix des activités, visites et hébergements étaient bien coordonnées sur l’ensemble des vacances et des alternatives selon les envies de la famille. L’expérience dans le désert tunisien reste inoubliable. Les guides sont à l’écoute, sympathiques et accueillants, ainsi que le responsable de l’agence. A recommander !

An exciting first night in the desert
We completed an 8 day trip through Tunisia organised by Wildyness. Spending a night in the desert was a first in our life and an exciting highlight. The trip was relaxing and insightful, with very knowledgeable and dedicated local guides along the way.

Great desert camping near Douz
We had a really good experience with WildyNess. Their team suggested a good camping site in the desert (Douz) and assisted us throughout the booking process. Highly appreciated!
