Overall a great holiday.For me the trekking was hard enough to be a little challange without distracting from the pleasure of hiking in the mountains. Anyone who has a reasonable level of general fitness should be able to manage this trip.
The pancakes at the end of day one! The scenery was amazing but even more amazing (for me!) was the quality of food produced in a tent on a tiny gas stove!
The whole team were very good.
It was freezing at night in February and I had to undress to get up for breakfast! So, go prepared.
This was a very interesting trek in a lessor known region of Morocco. It was great to get away from traditional tourist areas and to experience authentic Moroccan culture in the rural Berber villages.
Looking up at the African sky at night. Some of our group went for 'night walks' just to look at the stars. We had one occasion when a whole group of us just looked up in silent awe for about twenty minutes - this was the most inspirational moment of the trip for me.
Lachen was a very good group leader - he had a good sense of humour and was enthusiastic to answer questions about Moroccan culture, no matter how many we asked! His English was excellent, as was his knowledge of the local culture.
Make sure you take thermals - it gets very cold at night. (I tried to wash and dry my socks one evening and woke the next day to find that they were frozen!)
Great weeks walking in beautiful surroundings
Hard to say really its was all great- each day the walks were great with stunning views and just enough challenge
Lachen was very friendly personable and knowleable - a great ambassador for his country
It gets very cold at night in February! My 3 season sleeping bag was not up to the job. I had two pairs of thermal underwear and a down jacket over the sleeping bag too. One girl left her daypack in the food tent overnight and her camel pack froze! Take ear plugs as each camp seemed to come with howling dogs and don't forget a head torch. You will need lots of wet wipes and toilet paper as you really are wild camping!
This was an extraordinarily enjoyable experience, allowing freedom to really see and ‘soak up’ the atmosphere of the Anti -Atlas mountains at their unspoilt best. The booking arrangements were both high quality and seemless at the point of delivery. The first hotel used was perhaps the least impressive part of the entire trip.
A spell of simplicity in an otherwise complex life!
Abdellah was a first class guide and tour leader who accurately weighed up changing circumstances and appeared to react with professionalism accordingly. His knowledge and ability to pass on interesting facts about the country, the peoples and their culture was always apprechiated and greatly helped bring about a consistently rewarding experience.
This trip requires a moderate degree of fitness and stamina due to the terrain and changing temperature conditions during the course of any given day. Boots and feet need to be in good condition due to distances covered on predominantly rocky paths throughout the entire trip. Drinking water was purchased and available, but generally water for washing etc was not in evidence, requiring a specific request.
I had been worried because I don’t usually do camping/minimal facilities holidays but the country, the locals, the people in the group, fantastic scenery, remoteness and simpleness made up for any hardship
The general cameraderie on the trip was great and things were particularly special on Christmas night when the group (foolishly) challenged the staff to a singing competition. We could only come up with rather solemn carols or schoolkids (primary at that!) songs whilst the staff came up with soulful melodic songs one after the other accompanied with great beats from Jerry cans and trays etc for percussion. A local man invited himself in to join in the celebrations adding dance to the locals' repertoire.Other evenings with people sitting trying to read via the light on the head torches while others chatted or played cards is also a memorable image and from the day times the cook and guide chopping tomatoes/onions etc on the top of a mountain for our lunch is another
Abdellah was great; warm, friendly and with excellent English he knows his country and enjoys sharing it with the group. He kept a lovely pace in the walking and asked us to stick behind him which we did and it gave a sense of cohesion to the group.We had three other staff with us all very friendly, hospitable, cheerful and good at their jobs. We got delicious food beautifully presented which was amazing consideringwhat basic facilities they had.
The days were warm and we were very lucky not to have a single cloud over the walking days. The temperature did drop a lot at night and you need to take a lot of layers for evenings in the tent where sometimes the only heat was from ourselves and some candles! and the tents could be freezing cold.The terrain is very rocky throughout so good boots and poles are helpful. the tents were pitched on very rocky ground; I didn't take a thermarest but it may have helped.I also didn't take the group flight and was pleased I didn't; I took a direct flight with Thomsons which gave me an extra day of holiday whilst the group flight arrived in the middle of the night; I would recommend looking into alternatives
good walking in varied scenery away from civilization . friendly and competant leader. a nice break !
i have been on more inspirational trips but a good break in winter sunshine with fellow hikers !!
freindly and competant. a good ambassador for his country and faith.
a more comfortable airbed/ matress. some of those rocks feel huge at night !
Refreshing, invigorating, inspiring alternative to Christmas!
Maybe it was waking up snug and warm in my (borrowed from friend) 4 season sleeping bag on Christmas morning, realising that - although I love my family and friends dearly - the decision I had made to spend Christmas away walking in the anti-Atlas with a group of like-minded (and not at all wierd) people, was absolutely the right one, and that I had a day of sunshine, great scenery and walking, great company and conversation ahead of me (if only I could face getting out of my sleeping bag!).
Abdullah was fantastically organised and efficient without ever letting on: everything happened as it should, there was never any stress. I felt completely safe and confident with Abdullah, and he was very open and welcoming, and happy to talk about Morocco today.
Take lots of toilet paper (the facilities- if there are any - are very basic)! Even in the middle of winter take a sun hat - it's bright.Take a head torch and lots of layers for sitting around in the evening.There's not a lot of time in the town at the end (Taroudant) so if you're shopping - know what you're after.
A great trip through remote areas of the Anti Atlas, with a winning combination of solitude and the chance to meet local people. A difficult trip to organise for yourself, it’s one that relies on Exodus and their contacts to make it happen. Great fun.
A Berber feast on Christmas day, in a tent under a beautiful starry sky. Wonderful singing from our Berber cooks, guide and assistants. Appalling effort from the British contingent! A memorable day.
Our guide / leader Abdullah was patient, well-informed, passionate about his country, and great fun to be around. A remarkably slick operation from the in-country team.
We were lucky to experience clear blue skies all day every day, but the nights were very cold as a result. Do pack a 3 / 4 season sleeping bag, and a down coat or similar for the evenings. Those with dodgy knees and / or ankles will find the walking tough, due to the surface of broken rock to all paths. Walking poles are a must for those with existing problems.
Very good. I really enjoyed it. It exceeded my expectations. There was a good guide and his team were friendly too and looked after us well. Good scenery, good varied food. The walking pace was just right. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
- Climbing Jebel Aklim. Was a good testing climb and had wonderful views.- Drinking tea and eating some food in a Berber family's house in the city of Cats.- I really liked the gorge walk on the third walking day. It was one of the few places with water and it was beautiful.
Very good. Friendly. Patient. Good knowledge of local area and of Morocco. Made the trip work well and set a good pace. He was good at estimating how long each part of the walk would take.
- It does get cold at night, especially when camping higher up, so make sure you bring a warm sleeping bag and enough layers.- The terrain is very rocky and many people got blisters as a result so make sure you are confortable in your walking boots and bring compeed/blister-kit.- It was possible to buy bottled water during the trip but because of the difficulties with rubbish disposal of plastic bottles, I feel its better to take water purification tablets.- The pace was good and the leader's estimates of how long each section would take were accurate. You'll generally have a rest stop every hour. It does get hot so bring sun cream and a hat.- We don't camp at official/permanent campsites so there aren't any facilities there. There will be a mess tent to eat in and a toilet tent.- Food is tasty and varied. Even for vegetarians, there is plently of good variety.- The journey to/from Morocco is long as there is a connecting fight at Casablanca.
