How this holiday makes a difference

We have a strict environmental policy to make sure that the fragile eco-system of the mountains is not damaged or spoilt in any way. On our Horse riding in the Atlas Mountains holidays, our guides are trained to uphold this policy and all clients are fully briefed on appropriate/responsible behaviour whilst in wilderness areas. Our “Leave No Trace” ethic is applied to all trips in all regions, and as tour operators is something we are careful to promote.

When you take one of our trips, we make a contribution to When you take one of our trips, we make a contribution to “Carbon Clear” – an organisation who work with hundreds of organisations to measure their carbon footprint and reduce their carbon emissions.

In each area we employ and develop close relationships with drivers, camp staff and guides. We feel the interaction between our friends and our clients offers both parties a valuable understanding between cultures.

In Morocco we use local ground handlers who in turn book locally run hotels, providing employment for a number of members of staff and support families. The ground handlers also use local drivers and camp staff, and ensure that all supplies are purchased locally for the journey. This means that all the operational costs go directly into the local economy.

On our horse treks, we work exclusively with “African Horse stables”, who ensure that the Barb/Arab horses we trek with are well treated, well fed and well looked after. Our trips visit local markets en route enabling our clients to purchase arts and crafts directly from local artists and tribes-people, again ensuring that money goes directly into the community.

We also support several NGOs around the world such as the Hope Foundation, A-Cet and Adopt-A-Minefield, which are all carefully selected to improve the standard of living for the communities we visit.

Riding beautiful horses through the Atlas Mountains

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Keep warm

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Only those employed for the trip could be said to have benefited. The toilet facilities - none, considerably increased our impact on the local environment.

The toilet facilities, or lack of them, is an issue that has been brought to our attention and is something we will act on. Thank you
