Morocco Trekking
Holidays
On foot in Morocco’s vast wilderness with some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in Africa.
About Treks in Morocco
Golden sand dunes that stretch in sculpted waves as far as the eye can see, remote mountain passes far from trappings of the modern world. The scale of wilderness in the mountains and deserts of the world will quite simply, take your breath away.
There are many excellent reasons to visit Morocco, but the stand-out experience in our opinion is travelling on foot in either the desert or the mountains with a private tented camp carried by mules or camels.
We work with local guides that we have partnered with for many years now and specialise in treks into the High Atlas and southern deserts of Morocco, accessing stunning wild areas over anything from two to five or more days.
Morocco is a country of immense physical beauty, with some of the most inspiring areas of pristine wilderness in Africa. It’s also superb value and just a few short hours flight from the UK.

BEST TIME FOR TREKS IN MOROCCO
The best season for trekking in Morocco tends to be from March through to late June when the risk of rain has largely gone and before the full force of the summer heat arrives.
However, later in the year when you hit November and December can also be a lovely time to be trekking in Morocco, especially in the southern part of the country. At this time of year the skies are bright and blue with temperatures of around 27’c.
To join the nomadic Ait Atta, you will be travelling in either May or September. Each year, depending on grazing requirements and the vagaries of the climate, they follow a seasonal migratory pattern with their livestock and entire households. This journey involves six full days of walking with a nomadic family and takes you into the stunning M’goun Massif in the High Atlas mountains, where the sense of wilderness and dramatic landscapes are intoxicating.

Stylish mobile camps
We use a couple of different styles of camp to support our treks – light mobile camps and luxury desert camps.
The camps are lightweight enough to be packed up and carried by mules or camels over two to five or more days. But, if you like a little more pizazz, our luxury desert camps have proper beds and duvets within stunning embroidered tents.

This form of travel is intrinsically linked to the country’s culture; this is how people have travelled in Morocco for centuries.
For a country so close to Europe, it’s exhilarating to find such an intact North African culture and landscape with real contrast to anything European at every turn. Thread your way among small Berber villages, either on foot or on horseback, supported with a light tented camp.
