Having never been to Morocco before, it was the adventurous itinerary and the affordability that attracted me to this trip. I hoped that this itinerary would take me into remote out-of-the-way places that would best present Morocco's wild mountain and desert landscapes. I was not disappointed. The itinerary was outstanding, from the Anti-Atlas to the northern Sahara, and then back over the High Atlas on the return. The ground support team and logistics were excellent, and professionally delivered. Very warm and friendly. The accomodation was great, giving opportunities to get to know Berber culture. Those villages in the valleys of the Anti-Atlas were unforgettable. The drivers and their trusty Toyota Landcruisers were excellent. Those vehicles are the best for trips like this. And the Tinariwen soundtrack as we travelled was perfect. The cuisine was outstanding and abundant! Despite the physical activity I don't think I lost weight on this trip! We managed to dodge the atypical winter weather to some extent, finding windows that gave us a real mountain experience in the Anti-Atlas. (At this time of year definitely bring gear to be prepared for a range of temperatures and conditions). While the itinerary was designed to deliver a range of experiences over the 6 days/nights I would recommend that this itinerary could be extended to include a night in Agadir at the beginning and an extra day/night at the end to best appreciate what the route has to offer. The day extension at the end would allow quality time in the Draa Valley with its endless escarpments and date palms in the valleys, a quintessential part of Morocco that I would like to return to. This would help break up the long drive from Chegaga Erg to Marrakech, which is quite a stretch. As someone who has guided trips of a similar nature in other parts of the world, I can say with confidence that this was an excellent trip. Would like to do it again sometime, maybe in the Spring . Thanks James and Shannon for getting this trip on the road!
