Our first overseas trek since 2016, Sahara Trek 2026 will see a group of intrepid Meningitis Now supporters take to the dunes and ancient riverbeds of one of the largest, and most beautiful deserts in the world.

With challenging terrain and highs of 35oC, this two-and-a-half-day trek is not for the faint-hearted. Supported by a team of local guides, you will experience the Berber way of life and – weather permitting – will be able to rest your aching feet beneath the stars as you camp out on the dunes each night.

Working alongside tour operator The Different Travel Company, we will provide you a once in a lifetime experience, all while raising vital funds needed to support our work.

As part of #TeamTangerine, you will receive:

  • Support from a dedicated Fundraising Officer every step of the way
  • A personalised technical t-shirt to wear during the trek
  • Access to our exclusive Trek Sahara community on WhatsApp – meet the rest of the team before we fly!
  • Free fundraising materials
  • Access to our Training Hub
