Hotel Review

Safari Desert Camp is a polished Merzouga tented camp where the setting does most of the talking: dunes outside, a garden and terrace on site, and a calm, high-comfort feel that matches its 5-star billing. Guests consistently praise the warmth of the team, which gives the place a welcome sense of ease rather than overdone formality.

Accommodation is straightforward to choose from, with Double or Twin, Triple with Private Bathroom, and Quadruple options. The private bathrooms, free toiletries, shower, and outdoor furniture give the tents a practical edge, and the family-room setup makes sense for small groups as well as couples. Recent reviews point to excellent comfort, clean rooms, and a stay that feels especially well suited to travelers who want the desert experience without giving up essentials.

Breakfast is a strong point here. Safari Desert Camp serves a buffet breakfast, and the guest feedback backs that up with very high praise. There is also an outdoor dining area, which fits the camp’s open-air rhythm and makes meals feel connected to the landscape rather than separate from it.

Service is another reason guests rate this Merzouga hotel so highly. Reception staff speak Arabic, English, Spanish, French, and Italian, and the property also offers free WiFi, parking, pet-friendly stays, and family rooms. For a desert camp, that is a practical mix, especially for international travelers who want things to run smoothly.

The location is best for people who want to be close to the dunes and still have access to Merzouga, which sits 3.9 km away. Couples especially seem to love it, and the 10/10 location score for two-person trips says a lot. In practice, Safari Desert Camp suits romance, desert travel, and family stays that prioritize atmosphere, comfort, and easy logistics.
