Thoroughly enjoyable trip

I enjoyed this trip wholly. The walking was good – not particularly difficult (though rocky underfoot) but up and down enough to be interesting, and with one or two more challenging moments – good scenery – terrific open views at times – and as people have said, a complete lack of other tourists or walkers. Some of the campsites were remote and beautiful and as Jennifer has said, the night skies were an absolute treat. We were blessed by good weather throughout the trip – warm sun, fresh air, cool but not freezing nights; overall it was less cold than I had expected. The company was excellent, the team looking after us was excellent – the logistics managed with seamless efficiency. The food was very good, the tents and mats were good. Morocco is a beautiful country; I will keep returning.

Most Inspirational Moment

Some of the views on the most scenic days of the trip - splendid. And yes, the night skies.

Thoughts on Group Leader

A warm heart in a slightly gruff carapace, Youssef was a highly efficient team leader, who knew his route well.

Advice for Potential Travellers

We were all required to make a donation at the start of the trip for the purchase of bottled water for provision of water to the whole group throughout the trip. The guide told us that this is now standard practice. For that reason, advance purchase of any special water purifying equipment or pills as suggested in the trip notes is a waste of time/money. Don't forget your torch/headtorch - vital bit of kit. There is no opportunity to buy anything at all after the day of arrival (no villages or shops whatsoever en route). The (optional) hammam at the end of the trip was a thoroughly authentic local experience - recommended!

A Winter Treat in the Mountains

This mid-winter festive season trek in The Anti Atlas transported me into an unspoilt world of spectacular beauty with a extraordinary sense of isolation. We wandered these mountains without any sign of tourist life and only Berber life when reaching our lunchtime oasis and evening camps. We experienced beautiful sunny days, perfect for comfortable walking and in contrast very cold nights in this mountainous terrain that each day brought a different rock formation, landscape and views. A great group of people led by Youssef our guide and fed by Hasan the chef and his 2 helpers that managed to surprise us for 7 days with delights from his simple portable kitchen.

Most Inspirational Moment

The sense of achievement at the end but probably the most memorable image is the clear and glistening star-filled night skies seen on essential night wanderings!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Youssef is a highly experienced guide who managed our group with diverse ability and age with great skill. As the oldest member of the group I would especially like to thank him for the attention he offered me during the times that I was struggling. Youssef was happy to talk about Moroccan history and culture and proved to be a great ambassador for his country. This was my first visit and I feel inspired to return.

Advice for Potential Travellers

A thermo-rest to aide sleeping on sometimes uneven terrain.

Remote trekking at its best

Adventure holidays don’t get much better than this. Inexpensive, nearby (three and a half hours from London Gatwick) yet it feels like you’re a world away from home.

Most Inspirational Moment

Highlights include trekking through beautiful remote locations, reaching the top of one of the highest summits in the region, bathing in a natural series of rock pools, viewing a myriad of stars and galaxies in the clear night sky and learning the ways of Bear Grylls from our dear mentor James. He was one of the four Brits in our group. We were also fortunate to have one Belgian and a married couple from Australia. We were all strangers when we touched down in Agadir but we bonded almost from the get go.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group was led by the Lahcan, an expert guide who explained where we would be trekking. We all came to appreciate his wisdom, experience and good humour as the days rolled by. He showed us the way as we headed up, up, up and then down, down, down pointing out the landmarks and of course dangers along the way. He treated us to nuts, dates and tea and fascinated us with tales of local lore. He was also supported by an attentive team – which included an excellent chef (Hassan), driver, two marvellous mules and their handlers.

Advice for Potential Travellers

By day we trekked through remote landscapes; climbing up rugged, barren rocks and back down to lush irrigated green valleys. Some of the walks were challenging and we encountered ever changing temperatures – so layers of clothing were vital. On some of the nights we struggled to sleep in our tents due to high winds; but we were always happy. Trekking gives your body and brain a work out, but make sure you read the small print: this adventure is an eight day detox. No need to be afraid... it will reawaken your senses and make you feel alive.

Brilliant trip - would definitely recommend

Undiscovered Atlas was a brilliant trip. 5 days without internet or phone reception, and just endless, beautiful scenery. Lahcen was a brilliant guide, and the chef Hassan whipped up amazing meals in the middle of nowhere. I definitely didn’t expect 3 course lunches and dinners which were all superb.

The walking was great, really varied landscapes, and there was a great sense of achievement at the end of the day when we made it to the camp.

Whilst it was April, the weather was definitely changeable, with thermals needed one day, and the next hats and suncream. Make sure you take clothes for all weathers. Views were spectacular, so a good camera is definitely worth taking along.

Most Inspirational Moment

There was a great team spirit, which made the whole tip extremely enjoyable, and lots of memories I won't be forgetting any time soon.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lahcen was a brilliant team leader; knowledgeable, interesting, funny and concerned for all of us when we were walking.

Travelling around

A great trek to take in the Anti Atlas. Traditional villages, blossoming almond trees, and unexpected blooming mountainsides. Delicious food, guides, Lahcen and Hassan were excellent and able to set a steady pace, catering for all levels. Fabulous fellow trekkers made it unforgettable.

Most Inspirational Moment

Finishing the trek!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lahcen was excellent. Managed all levels of fitness very well. He and Hassan worked very well together. Both full of local information, not only about the people but the flora & fauna as well.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Prepare to enjoy yourself. Don't worry about anything, it will all be organised and looked after.

The night skies were truly amazing, so many stars and no light pollution at all.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leaders Lahcen and Hassan and the team were fantastic, knowledgeable and helpful and looked afer us really well.

Rocks

One of our best trips with Exodus, great trekking weather but a tad chilly at night. Loved the vast expanses of beautiful stratus, cliffs, mountains, river beds and Beautiful old isolated villages. Lahcen and Hassan were the most fun professional guides and nothing was too much trouble. Would certainly return to Morocco 👏👏

Excellent all round (and up and down...)

Excellent trip, fantastic food, really good group and guides who were experienced, knowledgeable and genuine. Would go again in a heart beat!

Most Inspirational Moment

We all reached the summit together and the views all week we’re phenomenal.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our Group leader was friendly, genuinely caring and brilliant at ensuring we all stayed together. He made us feel welcome from the very start and was part of the fun.

Stunning scenery

This is a fab trip to get away from it all. Stunning scenery, remote locations make you feel you have stepped back in time and are seeing a people who have lived the same way for centuries. We saw no-one except villagers who came out to smile and watch people mad enough to walk fur pleasure. We were looked after brilliantly by our guides and their team. The food was plentiful and delicious. Having no internet relaxed the brain! A wonderful relaxing trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

Supporting all of the team todo the walk and get to the top.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent - friendly, kiva and caring.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you are reasonably fit and have walked 10 miles plus at home then you will be able to do this (and enjoy it). Walking poles are a really good idea as they help on the scree which there is lots of.
