Embark on a fascinating journey into the wild with our Souss Massa National Park Guided Day Trip. Your adventure begins with a prompt 8:00 AM pick-up from your hotel in Agadir or Taghazout. From there, enjoy a relaxing 40-minute scenic drive south to reach the gates of one of Morocco’s most important conservation sites. Founded in 1991 and spanning over 33,800 hectares, this park was established with the vital mission of restoring the Saharan fauna in Southern Morocco.
The park is a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike, featuring a nature trail at Oued Souss and a dedicated visitor center at Oued Massa. Because the Oued Massa river holds water year-round, it serves as a critical habitat for breeding marbled ducks and is famously known as the only Moroccan breeding site for the rare Glossy Ibis. The estuaries are teeming with life, providing an essential stop for migratory waders and gulls.
Beyond the birdlife, Souss-Massa is home to incredible captive-breeding programs for four threatened North African ungulates. As you explore the enclosures with your guide, you may spot the majestic Scimitar Oryx, Addax, Dama Gazelle, and Dorcas Gazelle. You will also learn about the ambitious reintroduction of the North African Ostrich, a species previously extinct north of the Sahara.
Your visit includes a stop at the park’s onsite museum, where you can deepen your understanding of the 250 bird species, 30 mammals, and dozens of amphibians and reptiles that inhabit this sanctuary. Keep your cameras ready and your eyes peeled as we explore this remarkable desert and coastal ecosystem together!
