A camel trek is one of the most incredible ways to experience Morocco; not only are you able to get up close and personal with the country’s wildlife, but you also get to experience the country the way the locals do and with local expertise to educate and inform you about your destination and the small towns you will pass through. This tour is four days long, passing through some of Morocco’s most beautiful cities and sights, as well as across the High Atlas Mountains and the large stony plains of Tazarine. As long as we have at least two people booked, it will take place. So you don’t need to worry about a last-minute phone call saying your holiday has to be cancelled. If you’re committed to going, then so are we. Pickup is available from all Marrakech hotels. For guest houses and riads, the pickup will be from the closest point accessible by van.Overview
