Absolutely the best tour I have ever taken. We visited the highlights of Morocco, covered many different regions of the country. I especially enjoyed learning about the Berber people and the Nomads. Our tour guide Mohammed was efficient, organized and attentive. He took care of each person in the group and made accommodations for everyones needs. Love, love, love this trip! It exceeded my expectations!!!
This trip only worked at five stars because of our magnificent tour guide. This was our first experience with a tour group, and His Awesomeness Ahmed has now set the bar impossibly high. He made it personal, and the twelve of us in the group followed his lead, making the whole experience one for the ages. Morocco is now a core memory for us. Thanks, Ahmed!!!
Our tour guide, Youssef, made our trip truly exceptional with his exceptional level of care and assistance. He was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure our well-being throughout our entire journey. When we encountered health issues during our stay, Youssef was there to support us and make sure we received the necessary care. His attentiveness and kindness were truly remarkable, and we cannot thank him enough for his exceptional service.
Apart from the outstanding support from Youssef, the tour itself was an absolute blast. The activities were meticulously planned and provided us with loads of fun and excitement. From exploring beautiful landmarks to engaging in thrilling adventures, every moment was filled with joy and exhilaration. We were thoroughly impressed with the level of organization and attention to detail.
Additionally, our accommodations exceeded our expectations. We were delighted by the quality and comfort of the accommodations provided. It added an extra touch of luxury and relaxation to our trip, allowing us to unwind and recharge after each exciting day of exploration.
Overall, we highly recommend this tour with a perfect 10/10 rating. The exceptional care and assistance from Youssef, coupled with the well-planned activities and fantastic accommodations, made our trip truly unforgettable. However, we would advise avoiding visiting during the summer months when the heat can become overwhelming. This way, you can fully enjoy all the experiences without any discomfort
Morocco was amazing! I had an incredible time with the smaller group and got to experience so many different places in a short amount of time! It truly felt like a once and a lifetime experience.
Combining the best of culture and coastal bliss, this two week tour of Morocco ensures you won't miss out on any of the key sights - the Imperial Cities of Marrakech, Fes, Rabat and Meknes, the dunes of the Sahara, ancient ruins and more, and then rewards you with a few days of rest and relaxation the Atlantic Coast in Essaouira.
This is an Exploratory trip doing our classic Fes to Cape Town route in reverse, heading northbound instead. The itinerary is therefore flexible. This will take account of road conditions in some parts where there will be rains and plenty of mud, and of where we can apply for necessary visas en-route. Expect good weather and conditions at southern & northern ends, with poorer weather and bad roads nearer the Equator. Embarking on this expedition will give you an insight into the varied cultures of West and Central Africa and all the challenges this vast continent can throw at you. There will be days when it will be pretty tough - bad roads, harsh terrains and extremes of climates, but you will also get to experience, see and discover a continent most travellers only dream of - whilst having the experience of a lifetime!
Note: This is one of our Overland Adventures which are run on a participatory basis – you’ll be involved in the day to day running of the trip and have fun helping to cook for the group. Expect to sometimes get dusty and dishevelled and not to be able to have hot showers every night. Groups of up to 24 people are led by our crew of two.
Please note that the accommodation on this trip is predominantly camping, though there may be opportunities to upgrade this locally where rooms are available. Please see the trip inclusions for an approximate percentage of camping and room nights.
Our Overland Adventures provide once in a life time experiences and whilst some safari activities may be included in the itinerary, or be available to book locally, this should not be considered a traditional safari holiday, though we consider that part of the fun!!
After three years of back 2 back beach vacations, I was ready for something different and Morocco was it in every way. This tour struck the perfect balance between cultural immersion, historical wonder, and breathtaking natural beauty. The itinerary flowed seamlessly taking us from the wide boulevards of Casablanca to the Roman ruins of Volubilis, the alleys of Fez and the dunes of the Sahara.
Our guide, Layla, was phenomenal. She was warm, endlessly knowledgeable, and the kind of person who anticipates questions before you even ask. She brought every stop to life, whether we were walking through the historic Medina of Fez or standing in awe before the architectural marvel of the Hassan II Mosque.
One of my personal highlights was the Todra Gorge. As someone who’s hiked canyons in Arizona and Utah, I can honestly say this was even more dramatic. It had sheer walls that glowed orange in the sun and a stillness that felt almost sacred. The camel ride to our desert camp in Merzouga was unforgettable. Watching the sun dip below the dunes, then sharing dinner and music under the stars with fellow travelers made for a night I’ll always remember. You can say it was a beautiful moment to be cherished forever.
The hotels exceeded expectations. They were clean, comfortable, and full of authentic Moroccan touches like tiled courtyards and lantern lit lounges. Sure, some days involved long drives, but the scenery made them feel like part of the adventure. We passed through ancient kasbahs, date palm oases, and tiny villages.
The team took care of everything with precision and warmth. From airport pickups to luggage handling it all just worked. For the price and what’s included, this tour is an incredible value. I returned home feeling enriched!
