Come and meet the residents of Jarjeer

A visit to Jarjeer has been called the highlight of a trip to Marrakech — an oasis of kindness just beyond the city.

What to Expect

A calm and caring welcome

By Appointment

Visits are always welcome without one, but it helps to let us know in advance, especially for any special requests.

Best in the Morning

Mornings are cooler and the animals are at their most active — the ideal time to meet our residents.

Take Your Time

Relax in the peaceful surroundings, learn each animal's story and enjoy the view of the Atlas Mountains.

Finding Us

Just beyond Marrakech

Jarjeer sits in the countryside of Oumnass, on the Rue d'Amizmiz (P2009), a short drive south of Marrakech towards the Atlas Mountains — just 24 km from the city.

How to get here

By car

As you approach Oumnass village, the road curves to the right where you'll see a sign for Jarjeer. Follow the piste on your right for about 200 metres, bearing right — don't go straight on at the junction — and you'll see our gate ahead.

By bus

The number 45 bus from Sidi Mimoun will take you to Oumnass (your hotel or Riad can direct you to Sidi Mimoun). Ask the driver to tell you when you arrive — the fare is only 6 dh. Call us from the bus stop when you get off and we'll come and pick you up.

By taxi

A taxi is possible if you'd prefer, though be insistent with your request — some drivers aren't familiar with Jarjeer, but many good drivers know our work well and are happy to bring you.
