A protected park with rare Northern Bald Ibis, flamingos, gazelles, ostriches, and guided safaris.
About this experience
Souss-Massa National Park is a protected area located about 60 km south of Agadir, known for its diverse ecosystems including coastal wetlands, sand dunes, cliffs, and grasslands. The park is a paradise for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts. It is one of the last refuges of the critically endangered Northern Bald Ibis (one of the world's rarest birds), which can be seen here along the cliffs. Other bird species include flamingos, spoonbills, glossy ibises, ospreys, and many migratory waterfowl. The park is also home to mammals like African ostriches (reintroduced), dorcas gazelles, addax, oryx, wild boars, and Barbary ground squirrels. A guided safari (by 4x4 or e-bike) is the best way to explore the park's remote areas and spot wildlife. The park's Atlantic coastline features dramatic cliffs and pristine beaches where sea turtles nest. The best time for birdwatching is during spring and autumn migration seasons. E-bike tours to Souss-Massa are now available from Agadir, making it accessible for active travelers[citation:1][citation:3][citation:9].
