Info
Morocco
A short flight from the UK lie the legendary shores of Barbary; the gateway to Africa. Morocco has much to offer the modern traveler and is little known as a paddling destination. Its unique culture and leisurely pace are so different from our own fast-moving lives that a holiday here is a truly memorable experience. Leaving London on a Friday we embark on a ten-day adventure of desert and river travel that begins in Marrakech.
Saturday morning finds us loading up the 4x4s and heading for the rising sun and the Atlas Mountains. To camp in this arid region is to experience, if only for a short time, the life of the nomad. Life must be lived on nature’s terms and this has a great way of focusing the mind on the real necessities of existence. Worries just fall away and life is lived in the here and now. Our river journey is self-supporting, giving us unmatched freedom to enjoy the landscape and to meet the local people. Depending on flows the river can be fun and technical or big and bouncy. It is a fantastic place to hone your skills.
By the evening of the 6th day we will be back in Marrakech, happily tired and full of memories that will last a lifetime. The next day we have time to explore the bazaars and souks, with their market stalls, snake charmers and acrobats. Mouth-watering aromas fill the air and the food is one of the highlights of the trip. The next two days are spent at the famous Jimmy Hendrix beach in Essaouirs for some great Atlantic surf and unsurpassed seafood.
Larger than life, Morocco is not just a destination, it is an experience never to be forgotten. Full details can be found in the itinerary.
