Marrakech and the High Atlas tour, Morocco

Small group adventure holiday

This trip will appeal to travellers of all ages who enjoy meeting new people as well as seeing new places.

How this holiday makes a difference

This twin-centre tour to Morocco concentrates on the High Atlas mountains south of Marrakech. Here we stay and support the Kasbah du Toubkal which employs local staff and donates a 5% levy of its income to the Association Des Basins d’Imlil in addition to supporting other local projects. Our local agent and staff are also Moroccan and the tour leader is consequently able to provide in-depth information about, and a direct link to, the local berber mountain communities. Through the charity Education For All we also support the construction of a girls' boarding house at Asni in the High Atlas which will eventually accommodate 24 girls, 3 of which we are supporting for their first year.

We limit the group size on this tour to 12 to assist in reducing both the potential negative cultural and environmental impact of our visit.

As well as the above, we support a variety of charities and projects worldwide, which support vulnerable communities and habitats including Friends of Conservation and Send a Cow. We are also actively engaged with UK travel industry bodies, which promote best practice in responsible tourism such as the Travel Foundation and AITO. Our commitment to responsible tourism is not limited to our overseas operation and we have measures to ensure our UK office operates according to our responsible tourism policy.

We offset the emissions of all our customer and staff flights through Climate Care.

Story of the holiday provider

This small group operator is just celebrating its 30th year and was originally set up to enrich people’s lives through adventure travel. The directors have roots in overland trucking and are determined to keep a pioneering spirit alive. They believe what sets them apart is the strong relationships they’ve developed with local suppliers and tour guides over the years. A tour leader who thinks creatively can turn a good experience into a fantastic one and open up a place so that travellers gain insight into a completely different way of life. They operate in many different countries and try to avoid a blanket approach – their aim is to get customers involved in the projects they visit and to forge lifelong friendships.
