A Sahara camp for retreat leaders from India
Yoga and wellness teachers, gyms, coaches and the groups who follow them: the whole camp, for your community only
Why the Sahara
Yoga and wellness teachers from India already lead groups abroad. The Erg Chegaga is a different kind of place to bring them: a private camp in the dunes of southern Morocco, sixty kilometres of desert piste beyond the last paved road, with no wifi, no network and, once you privatise it, no other guests.
Your group has the whole camp, from eight to eighteen people and up to twenty with extra beds, for as many nights as the programme needs. Our chef cooks for your group only, and dietary needs sent before arrival are built into the menus.
Who brings a group
Built for the people who lead
Yoga and meditation teachers
A practice deck facing the dunes, open desert for sunrise sessions and silence for the long sittings.
Studios and wellness centres
The trip your students remember, led by you, with the logistics handled on the ground.
Gyms and fitness coaches
Conditioning on the dunes at first light and recovery in the afternoon, with the whole camp for your members.
Executive and life coaches
A week with no signal for a small group, with a lounge tent for indoor sessions.
What the camp gives you
The whole camp, for your group only
Eight tent suites
Each has its own bathroom with a hot shower and a real bed. The camp takes 2 to 18 guests, and up to 20 with extra beds.
The camp to yourselves
When you privatise it, there are no other guests. Your group has the camp, the dunes and the silence, and the team works around your programme.
A kitchen for your group
Our chef cooks for your group only, and dietary needs sent before arrival are built into the menus.
Space to teach
Open desert for practice, a lounge tent for indoor sessions and a sky rated Bortle 1, the darkest class on the scale.
No wifi, no network
There is no network at the camp. For an important call, a signal can be found a short walk away, about twenty minutes there and back.

Questions
What organisers ask first
Can the chef cater to vegetarian and vegan groups?
Yes. Our chef cooks for your group only, and vegetarian, vegan and other dietary needs sent before arrival are built into the menus.
Who sets the price of a place for our participants?
You do. You design the programme, set the price of a place and keep the relationship. We quote the whole camp, and we never contact or sell to your participants.
Can our group have the camp to itself?
Yes. When you privatise it, the camp is taken whole by your group, from 2 to 18 guests and up to 20 with extra beds, so your participants do not share it. Privatising is possible for any request, subject to availability, and never an obligation: a single tent can also be booked.
How do we reach the camp?
Your group flies into Marrakech. From there it is about 8 hours 45 by road, of which 1 hour 30 is piste, or 1 hour 40 by helicopter, with five or six seats per rotation.
When is the camp open?
From September to June. The camp is closed in July and August.
Do you publish a price?
