Fun week trekking in the High Atlas Mountains A really enjoyable week trekking in the High Atlas. The trip was very well paced with several challenging days but still enough time to rest, acclimatise and enjoy the spectacular scenery prior to summitting Mount Toubkal itself. There is also a mix of wild and arranged camping which gives a nice contrast throughout the week.
Morocco: another outstanding World Expeditions adventure! This was my 6th trip with World Expeditions, and once again, it did not disappoint. I’m always so impressed with the guides and support staff, who do their jobs flawlessly. Boubker was our guide and right from the start, he was on his game. He knew his country and communicated his vast knowledge to us as we drove through the country visiting fascinating sites and learning the intriguing history of Morocco. He could answer any question given to him. Plus, he was fun, personable and fit right in with our group. Luckily, we had a harmonious group of adventurers from Australia, USA, Northern Ireland and Canada, which made the trip even more fun. In addition to the captivating sites along the way, the camel ride to watch a sunrise, a sudden sandstorm that caused Hassan, our excellent van driver, to do some successful off-roading (!), an afternoon conversing with and buying rugs from local tribespeople (I love my rug!), and the glorious hikes in the High Atlas Mountains made the trip one of the best ever. Speaking of the trek in the High Atlas Mountains, the cooks and muleteers were simply phenomenal. Not only did we have delicious food, it was beautifully displayed – even at 10,000 feet! They worked hard to ensure we were well-fed and our tents were ready for us when we reached the various camps. Above all, they were always smiling and helping us in any way we needed. If you are thinking of going to Morocco, GO! This trip has it all – culture, adventure, hiking. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
We had a fabulous trip thanks to our travel company. Our local guides made our trip a memorable experience. Nothing was too much trouble and we were able to tailor make all activities. This is my second trip to Morocco with this company.
