Atlas Trek and Summit

An enjoyable hike through the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, including the summit of Toubkal the highest peak in North Africa.

Most Inspirational Moment

We started the summit day at 04:30 and experienced sunrise during our ascent.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mohamed was a capable and competent leader. The trek was well organised and he communicated well with the group.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Toubkal is lower altitude and a shorter trek than Kilimanjaro and EBC, so could prove as a good starter to gain experience for those new to this type of activity.

Quick and Easy climb. Porterage was perfect.

Everything was well organised, on time and looked after on your behalf. The quality of the food was excellent – always surprising what the chef can rustle up in the mountains in his chefs tent. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the porters / muleteers.

Pace during the week was good, the whole group was always together and we all made the summit thanks to Mohamed. Shame about the summit views with the cloud base on summit morning – you never can guarantee a view at the top .. but the rest of the weather was blue skies the whole way – got some awesome pics.

The group individuals was amazing, as they always are with an Exodus trip – we even had a couple of Americans on our group, which made for great discussions.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing different cultural from around the world is why I do these treks. On this trip you see everything from the city life to the mountain villages - always humbling.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mohamed was awesome. Very knowledgeable, briefings were spot on. He organised a great first night meal in Marrakesh as a group. He even went the extra mile after we finished in organising excursions & activities for us.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Summit day is the longest day, with an early breakfast and then a 8hr wait until lunch. Bring plenty of snacks for summit day - you'll need them. Pro tip - pack sweets too, great for sharing with the group.

TMM2: Climb Morocco's Mount Toubkal

A classic Atlas Mountains trekking adventure combining high-altitude challenge, spectacular mountain scenery, local Amazigh culture, and the achievement of standing on the highest peak in North Africa.

Most Inspirational Moment

The views from the top!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader and assistant leader, Mohamed and Abdul, were flawless and a true credit to the leaders team. They had a great sense of humor, were interested in the group and were proud to show off their country and answered all questions we had about the country and it's culture.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This trip is best suited to fit and experienced hill walkers who are comfortable with long days on the trail and the effects of altitude. While no technical climbing is required, the high elevation and steep terrain can make it a physically demanding challenge!

Achievable Summit

We went in September. It was 40°C in Marrakech but a lot cooler in the mountains. Beautiful unique scenery, with added goats, mules and sheep. Walking pace was steady and the whole group made the summit of Toubkal. Food good and varied. Base campsite a bit grubby. Medina in Marrakech is walkable from hotel (2km). Don’t expect to find alcohol here. We’d definitely recommend this trip, which enables acclimatisation to the altitude.

Most Inspirational Moment

Surviving zebra crossings in Marrakech!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mohamed Id Balaid was a great guide. He quietly organised everything for us, including a couple of route changes due to previous flood damage to the trails. Good humour, kindness and a genuine interest in our group. Good English-speaker, with decent knowledge of his country.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Walking poles and a water bladder are useful on this trek, as are decent boots. We were able to buy sealed water in 5 litre bottles, which cut down on plastic waste. Cash machines opposite Hotel Gomassine. As mules carry the bulk of your kit, it would be possible to take a decent camera in your day pack. Tents are a bit small if you're sharing with a newly-met friend. Some walking snacks are useful, along with a toilet roll and some zip lock bags.

7 days Mount Toubkal - fantastic experience

7 days was well worth the extra time to the long weekend. Amazing local guides, varied scenery and excellent food for a camping trip. the 7 days gave time acclimatise to the heat, to practice getting up at 0600 and to get used to camping. Plus the tour of Marrakesh on the last day was a nice end to the trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

reaching the top, amazing views and one of our team really struggled - the guides supported him all the way up ensuring he reached the top - we were so pleased he made it and none the worse for wear.

Thoughts on Group Leader

our group leader was an experienced guide from a local village, he also helped in the mountain rescue teams. he had his nephew also helping as a very fit and knowledgeable and friendly support guide. he made sure that extra hikes each day were split for our capabilities and provided a local support team of excellent chefs, the tents were all taken down and ready each time we arrived, a lot of local knowledge about where we were. we were well looked after one of my best guide experiences.

Advice for Potential Travellers

as always make sure you train these are very up and down daily treks, the final ascent had boulders and the younger members of the group moved at a pace, it is hot for the first few days so you need to acclimatise if not used to walking in the heat - last week of May, if there is two of you share items when packing - there is little extra room in the tent. there are ATMs not far from the hotel just ask the guide in the morning before getting the coach, you need cash for drinks and stops, the airport transfer is the domestic flight bound so nothing available although you don't wait long.
