Desert logistics
Local support for events in the Sahara
Running an event in the desert means answering many practical questions: where people sleep, how water and food reach them, how to move people and equipment across sand and rock, and who knows the tracks. Our team grew up in Merzouga and knows the Erg Chebbi area inside out.
South African teams know rough terrain well, and the Sahara adds its own challenges. We set up mobile camps at stages or finish lines, provide catering and drivers, and support organisers, photographers, film crews and expeditions before and during the event.
- Mobile camps with tents, carpets and beds or mattresses
- Kitchen, catering and drinking water supply
- 4x4 vehicles, drivers and local guides
- Help with routes, permits and local contacts
