Highlights of Morocco
This was a brilliant trip with a wide variety of landscapes and interesting cultural highlights to marvel at. Not a trip for the wildlife enthusiast as not many birds or other animals but still well worth the intensive immersion in all things Moroccan .
Most Inspirational Moment
Our stay in the village in the High Atlas was magical. It reminded me a bit of Shangri La in 'Lost Horizon' with the cultivated valleys covered in fruit trees in blossom with a backdrop of mountains in the most striking colours.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Abdullah was fantastic. Patient, knowledgeable and efficient. We couldn't have asked for a better leader.
Advice for Potential Travellers
One word of caution - it is VERY cold in the cities in winter - we were expecting it in the countryside - but be prepared and take lots of layers. If you have room, a hot water bottle and travel kettle are worth taking.

Most Inspirational Moment
The camel ride to our desert camp. It was nearly sunset on the on our 1 hour journey by camel . The scenes and colours were amazing.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Yaya was a good guide always there to help without being over powering.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you go in December or in Morocco's winter take plenty warm clothes for day and night. The walks can be quite rugged and difficult so wear walking boots for support. Take plenty dina when you arrive as sometimes banks and exchanges were not always open.

Morocco Highlights
an excellent trip, plenty of diversity. Being Dec/Jan the weather was a lot colder than I expected and I did’t pack enough warm clothes. I expected being in the desert and in the mountains would be cold but not in some of the cities we visited. However there was wall to wall sunshine and this made the 2 weeks very colourful. We found the local people very friendly and the shopping areas easy to walk around without too much hassle.
Most Inspirational Moment
The Medina in Fez was exciting and we had a great local guide who knew her way around so well.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Yaya our group leader was very helpful without being too pushy. He looked after us very well and had loads of local knowledge. He took us out to dine most nights and helped sorting out menus and drinks.
Advice for Potential Travellers
make sure your clothing is right for the time of year you are travelling. Take a reasonable amount of local money as some times the banks and ATM's were shut. Take very strong walking boots in Toddra Gauge as the paths are very rugged and uneven.

fascinating.
Fabulous trip. Really got an insight into the history and culture of morrocco. Some long days travelling, but there is no way around that on a trip of this sort. Came away with happy memories and admiration for the workmanship of the craftspeople making fabulous items that I would love to own.
Most Inspirational Moment
Highlights for me were the night in the desert, fes and essouria. I loved watching the craftspeople at work and this has given me great ideas and inspitation for my own woodworking projects.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mustapha was an excellent leader, who dealt with tipping the guides etc and saved us all the hassle of knowing who and how much to tip. He impressed me by his attitude to some of the really poor people we came across, handing out a few coins to some children to buy a new football, a few coins to a beggar in the street and a nomad lad whose shoes were full of holes. He really cared! He was informative and friendly and made sure we got the most out of our trip.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take it all in and enjoy every minute. You dont really need walking boots, just some good trainers and leave plenty of room in your bag so you have room for purchases, there are so many fabulous things to buy.

Fantastic time, book this trip now!
Fun in the city in Casablanca, Fes and Marrekech, awe inspiring sites in the desert and gorge, peace and quiet in the mountains, playing by the water in Essaouira – this trip displayed all the sides of Morocco. It was everything one pictures when they think of Morocco and surprises you with variety and charm.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking around Tijhza in the High Atlas Mountains with breathtaking views, friendly people and good new friends.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mustapha is a fantastic leader. Part teacher, part bossy parent and always a friend he was awesome at teaching us about Morocco, keeping everyone safe and always willing to help out and spend time with everyone in our group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Prepare yourself to adapt to change. Sometimes it will be hot (this came as a shock to some of our group, but it was Africa in July/August!), you may feel physically challenged (Todra Gorge was more of a hike than a walk) but at the end of it you'll have a fantastic time if you're willing to try new things and let the little problems slide.

Amazing insight into Morocco
I had some doubts about this trip, but these doubts turned out to be unfounded and this trip was amazing! We were able to get a real taste of Morocco and experience all the country has to offer.
Most Inspirational Moment
Trekking the Atlas Mountains was a great experience. The uphill was a tough (but manageable) climb and the downhill was fraught with danger and I ended up on my backside a few times (I recommend hiking boots or at least trainers with good ankle support) but we made it!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Abdullah was a fantastic group leader. He knew all the areas well and was always on hand to answer any questions we had. His choice of local guides and restaurants was also excellent. During the treks, he was very in a league of his own, though always on hand to help the rest of the group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
As mentioned above, hiking boots would probably be best for the treks. I wasn't a huge fan of Marrakech and thought it was a bit of a let down - it does come at the end of the trip so maybe prepare yourself for a bit of a let down. I would probably buy souvenirs etc is Fez and Essaouira if possible.
