Morocco Trekking:
We can arrange treks for one, two, three, or more days depending upon your group's travel plans. Get out and explore Morocco's less-touched regions in the mountains and valleys only a short drive from Marrakesh.

Morocco Family Adventures:
This all-inclusive 13 day trip takes you off the beaten path for a family Moroccan adventure. Starting in Marrakesh, we ride camels into the Sahara Desert and attend a surf camp [!] that is always a hit with the kids.
This tour is best done from late March through October, but can be adapted to fit the days your family has available and the time of year you will be visiting. In the hottest part of the summer, we adapt the itinerary for the High Atlas Mountains instead of the Africa's biggest desert, the Sahara.

Magical Sahara:
This 4 day tour travels south of Zagora into the Sahara Desert but off the beaten path and offers a magical small group or family adventure.

A Taste of Morocco [families]:
A 5 day kid-friendly vacation. On this short family break, we concentrate on arguably its two greatest highlights - the bustle and excitement of the ancient Imperial City of Marrakech and the serene beauty of the mighty High Atlas mountains.

Anti Atlas Adventure [Morocco, biking]:
8 days riding through the unique environment of the Anti Atlas, an oasis of palm-fringed valleys and orchards in Morocco's deep south. We finish with a dramatic descent of the southern flanks of the High Atlas through the Paradise Valley to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Predominantly on surfaced roads, this tour provides a range of gradients and some steep descents, suitable for those with some previous biking experience. We base ourselves in hotels throughout to ensure comfort as well as adventure.

Blue Nile and Lalibela [Ethiopia]:
A 14 day trip across one of Africa's most fascinating countries, Ethiopia offers a unique culture with a long history and stunning scenery. Rock-hewn churches, ancient obelisks and the forbidden medieval town of Harar tell of past glories, while views vary from the Blue Nile Falls to the magnificent Simien mountains.

Botswana Wildlife Safari:
15 days mostly in Botswana - one of a few African countries which has managed to maintain its vast reserve areas of untouched wilderness. We explore the wildlife reserves of Chobe and Moremi and savour the beauty of the Okavango Delta - a huge freshwater oasis in the Kalahari desert. Also included is an off-beat houseboat stay on the Okavango Panhandle and the raging 'Smoke that Thunders', Victoria Falls.

The Cape Escape [South Africa]:
11 days in the Western Cape - scenic National Parks, fine old towns, wine estates, mountains, rolling farmland and some unusual African wildlife!

Cradle of Voodoo [Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso]:
17 days to see the best of West Africa; travelling through three very different nations, we experience diverse cultures and traditional religions, amazing natural attractions and unique architectural styles, friendly people and vibrant local music. We visit fetish markets and python temples, spend a night in a traditional stilt village, witness fire-dancing and mask ceremonies and explore the vast expanse of the Burkinabe Sahel. We may even be granted an audience with King Maiga Belko at Arabinda.

Drakensburg and Wild Coast Trails [South Africa and Lesotho]:
Over 12 days of moderate/strenuous graded walking we focus on Africa's most spectacular southern mountains.
In Lesotho, we'll walk with colourful Basotho people in a land of ravines, waterfalls and tribal culture and hike to the highest point in Southern Africa.
Then we hike trails in Kamberg and the Royal Natal National Park on the South African side of the Drakensberg - a massive and strikingly beautiful rampart of caves, ridges, deep gorges, pinnacles and overhangs.

From Desert to Delta [Botswana and Namibia]:
A 18 day tour of Namibia and Botswana - some of the great wilderness areas of the world. From the magnificent golden-orange dunes of the Namib Desert, to the green paradise of the Okavango Delta and through the red sands of the Kalahari, this is a journey of kaleidoscopic contrasts. Wildlife is plentiful in Etosha and Moremi and we'll also spend time with the fabled San Bushmen.
