The Saharan Challenge is a ‘Land Only’ package, meaning you can organise your own flights to Marrakech from the airport of your choice. It will be your responsibility to meet our team at the Marrakech hotel, or  take a scheduled shuttle transfer from the airport to the hotel. We also offer the option to book an extra night at the team hotel on the 7th Oct 2025, allowing you to arrive early.

If you’ve chosen the Self Funding or Mixed Funding option your final balance will be due 10 weeks prior to departure. 

  • Commit to a minimum fundraising target for the charity of your choice
  • 80% of this target is due with your charity 12 weeks prior to the Challenge
  • Remaining 20% of fundraising target is due to your charity no later than 4 weeks after
  • The charity will pay the balance of your trip cost – granted that you’ve reached these targets.
  • If you fail to reach these targets, you may lose your place on the trip. 
  • All fundraising monies should be raised against an online portal (e.g. Just Giving).

How to Join

Sign up via our online form, and pay the appropriate Registration Fee. You’ll receive a confirmation email with important details and access to your Challenge App, with the resources to help you prepare. If you choose one of the fundraising options we’ll confirm that with the charity you’ve selected, and they will be in contact to welcome you within 14 days.
