Explore the beauty of the High Atlas Mountains in the most capable and knowledgable hands. It is the ultimate way to appreciate the North Africa’s most diverse eco system and climb the the highest peak in the region.

Experience the magic of Marrakesh and it’s enigmatic souqs before heading into the dramatic wilderness of Jebel Toubkal. Meet local Berbers, the the tribes of the mountains and catch a glimpse of Barbary apes and maybe even a leopard if you’re lucky.

There is so much more than the trekking though, in the winter months you can even ski in the rather basic resort of Imlil (which is the dramatic gateway to the mountains), collect rate fossils from prehistory when North Africa formed part of the Greater Mediterranean and experience a traditional way of life far removed from Europe and yet only a short 3 hour flight. Whether you want to get stuck into traditional pottery making or weaving nomad carpets Morocco is the ultimate combination of adventure, culture and luxury.

The basic experience can be done in a week, but with a bit more time it’s possible to combine the mountains with a visit to some of the biggest dunes in the Sahara, and even try your hand at surfing in Essaoira where Jimi Hendrix used to chill out. There’s plenty more as well- suiting tanneries and the unique kasbahs of Fez and Taroudant and of course the romance of Casablanca- all in total luxury.

We can spend the night in a luxury rented camp under the magnificent African sky and visit the world renowned Kasbah Tamadot, owned by Sir Richard Branson.
