Walking Treks – All

Guided Walking treks – fully supported

Morocco is a vast and varied country, ranging from high mountains and deep gorges to huge oceans of sand.  The annual snow in the High Atlas Mountains provides plentiful water, enabling lush green valleys and cultivated land, full of glorious of spring blossoms and habitations in the most remote corners.

Trekking in Morocco offers a rich and colourful experience, allowing a privileged and leisurely contact with a world barely changed in a thousand years, friendly tribes and ancient cultures, spectacular scenery and remarkably refreshing activity.

The tranquil world of the mountain Berber tribes is remote and only recently open to visitors, although this has facilitated in keeping the locals unaltered by western influences.  Shepherds still herd their flocks on the mountainside in search of the best grazing; women still gather at the village wells to gossip and mule tracks still carry walnuts to the weekly markets.

Trekking in Morocco is neither taxing nor uncomfortable. Mules are provided to carry your baggage and all the camping equipment, so the time spent walking is unencumbered.  Extra mules can be hired for you to ride if you become tired, or for those not built for trekking, making even the most remote valleys accessible to almost everyone.

The professional Berber guides we use are proud of their beautiful world, and enthusiastic to share its richness with you.  With comfortable camps and excellent staff who provide those special touches that make ‘roughing it’ a really enjoyable event.  Delicious food – even wine with your evening meal, and an unforgettable landscape will help ensure your trek will be an experience of a lifetime.

All of our treks are booked on an individual bases. You will have your own cook, guide, muleteer etc, and will not join a large group.
