Review of Private excursion to discover the great Tunisian south...
I dreamed of discovering desert and oases. Bruno from "GSA" offered us a tailor-made itinerary. On site, Khaled takes over. Private excursion over 3 days. The 4x4 was waiting for us in front of the hotel with Khaled and Kilani. Three magnificent days whose discoveries were increasing. Unusual, wild, authentic, grandiose landscapes. Direction Chott El Jerid, Chebika, Mides, 100 km of track in the middle of the desert. Gorgeous. Ksar Ghilane then the camp. Do not miss. You are greeted with such kindness. But also, the meal with the locals. Then, Chenini with the meeting of Adel, the guide on site speaks 6 languages. There, they need us, visitors, so much to survive. Go meet him, tip him to keep him alive, buy souvenirs there; this purchase will take on its full meaning. It will allow families to survive on the land they love. We gave Adel some small gifts for the children in the village. The encounters will have been as beautiful as the grandiose landscapes; these memories will remain engraved for a long time. Big thanks to Bruno for offering this kind of “off the beaten track” experience. Big thanks to Kilani, in his beautiful nomad outfit and outstanding driver in the desert... And big thanks to you Khaled for your kindness, your availability, your knowledge, your open-mindedness. You are a beautiful person as we like to meet in life. Good to you. Laurence and Franck
Fredericlop's review
Unforgettable Christmas vacation in southern Tunisia
Grand South Tunisian circuit. Departure from Djerba for 4 days, 3 nights to discover the South of Tunisia, between stone ergs, salt lakes, sand dunes and mountain oases. Our guide Mahmoud was able to help us discover his country through its history, its culture, its grandiose sites and landscapes. Stops for lunch in confidential and very tasty addresses (Matmata, Tamerza), sunset in the dunes at Ksar Ghilane, with the desire of our guide to stay away from the hordes of tourists. We return to France with images and flavors in our heads. Without forgetting Salem, our driver, always caring, kind, discreet, whom we got to know throughout the trip and who delighted us on the slopes and the dunes. A big thank you to Salem and Mahmoud who made our stay unforgettable. Frederick and Catherine.

Unforgettable 4-day excursion in 4X4 from Djerba
We have just returned from a 4-day excursion with Grand Sahara Aventure. What can I say... starting with discussions with the boss Bruno via France, making us want to book a private tour in a desert for the first time (in fact a very short circuit among all our previous trips) Promised thing As expected, a few weeks later we left with our super pilot Anouar and our unbeatable guide Mahmoud. The layout of the circuit was more than above our expectations...! We are very happy to have chosen 4 days and not 24 or 48 hours... because there is so, so much to see. The most important thing is the adaptation, sharing and knowledge that Mahmoud brought us on all the key points of this loop. Star Wars sites, Canyons, Berber Villages, Main Cities, and Oases: we haven't lost a beat; even more, we had a VIEW of it. Indeed, if we had a head start, the amazing duo did not hesitate to show us a landscape or a village in addition to our itinerary. Mahmoud is incredibly kind, he speaks French perfectly, as well as Italian. During the dinners the discussions continued and it was pleasant. In addition, Mahmoud insisted throughout the trip that we would enjoy our plates. He is attentive to your preferences, meat // fish // Spicy not Spicy Anouar an outstanding pilot who has a real GPS in his head and this right in the desert dunes... really impressive. We will end this review with the last day and night camped in the Sahara which was INCREDIBLE. Everything was sunny but I won't say more... I'll leave room for a few photos to inspire those who may still be hesitant about their next destination! NB: We also advise lovers of peaceful corners to stay at Dar Chick Yahia at Manuel's from Djerba, a B&B recommended by Bruno. Top-notch. Thanks again See you soon Serena & Victor
