Widiane Chasse

Barbary partridge shooting in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains offers an exhilarating experience in a challenging terrain. Native to North Africa, Barbary partridges thrive on the Widaine Estate. Guests can expect a mixture of high curling birds, and fast down hill birds. Our teams conservation efforts ensure the sustainability of this unique hunting experience, emphasizing responsible practices for both the species and its habitat.

The day begins with a relaxed breakfast overlooking the shimmering waters of Lake Bin El Ouidane, as the morning light rises over the Atlas foothills. Guests can then select from a range of well-maintained hire guns before heading out with their team. A short 20-minute drive brings the party to the first drive, where the sport begins in dramatic mountain terrain with spectacular backdrops and fast-flying birds. Two morning drives set the tone for an exciting and varied day in the field, followed by a traditional elevenses break. After elevenses, the shooting continues with two further drives, offering a mix of challenging presentations across the estate’s diverse landscape. The shooting concludes with a well-earned lunch served either at the lodge or back at the hotel, depending on preference. The afternoon and evening are reserved for relaxation. Guests can unwind by the pool, take in the views, or head out onto the lake for fishing, with black bass providing a peaceful contrast to the morning’s driven sport.
