4.Safari 4×4 Camargue 2 hours – Saintes Maries de la Mer – Private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Take a private 4x4 ride through the Camargue from Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer with a passionate English-speaking guide. In two hours, look for flamingos, Camargue horses, and bulls while learning how these animals live and work in the region. Your group of up to six stays together.

“Our guide was knowledgeable and we saw some lovely wildlife. However, advertising wild white horses is completely inaccurate. There are many white horses, but none are wild. The images used online for publicity are misleading. All horses, bulls etc must be owned by someone. They are beautiful but domesticated, not running free. The flamingos and other birds we saw were very pretty.”
