Trektocht van 3 dagen in het Atlasgebergte en Berberdorpen vanuit Marrakech

Geweldige ervaring. Een van de beste tours in mijn leven. Onze gids Hossain was geweldig. Landschappen, eten, accommodatie en alle informatie die hij ons gaf was ongelooflijk. Ik zou zeker herhalen

Super treck autour de Imlil Mustatapha est un excellent guide, qui nous a fait découvrir ses montagnes et leur Histoire. Quelques précisions importantes pour les intéressés : il n'est pas nécessaire de prendre des sacs de couchage (les gîtes fournissent des couvertures) et ne pas prendre de grands sacs. La mule a des sacoches spéciales et vos affaires sont mises dedans. Les températures en Janvier peuvent être fraîches, pensez à prendre une polaire et une vraie veste pour le soir. Le trek n'est pas trop exigeant mais demande quand même un peu d'énergie : vous marchez 15 à 20 kms par jour, sans trop de dénivelé (un peu au départ) Merci encore à Mustapha pour cette superbe expérience !

This was an excellent tour for those who like moderate to slightly difficulty hiking. I'll get the one or two negatives out of the way first: The tour company was very bad with maintaining any contact. I tried contacting them twice to arrange pick-up, but they didn’t respond. The evening before the tour, I had to go directly to their website, get their mobile number and then WhatsApp them. I got the distinct impression that they forgot about me entirely. Regardless, they made arrangements to pick me up, which worked out well. However, the arrangements were that I was picked up by a driver whose bus was full of non-English speaking people going on a completely different tour and I was the only one going on my tour. I had no problem with this at all of course, but it just confirmed for me that they had forgotten about me. In fairness, I admired their ability to improvise! On arrival, I had to wait for my guide for about an hour (I have an image of my guide sitting down to a cup of tea and then getting a knock on his door with someone saying 'we have a fella who booked a three-day hike and we forgot about him…get your boots, now!) Anyway, once we put one foot in front of the other, we were good! My guide, Muhammed, was a very pleasant person to hike with. Knowledgable about the entire area and full of information (although not very chatty, so you were only getting info if you asked for it). In keeping with the theme of having been forgotten about, Mohammed told me that the tour usually has around 15 people on it, however, in this tour it was just me (I’m not complaining, I just find it funny ????) There were other hikers I met along the way - a young family from Belgium, another from England, a couple of English guys and an Italian couple who I hiked with for a while. All very nice people to hit the trail with. Days 1 & 2 were decent 4-5 hour hikes. Day 3 was very nice, but not as strenuous and then also dove-tailed at the end with the more tourist elements, but that was fine and a nice way to end the trip. The accommodation for each night was great too. The village where the tour company was based was very busy as it was a tourist hub - not a big place, but a nice bit of life around it considering that it’s in the middle of the Atlas Mountains. The meal at the end and organisation for getting me back to Marrakech was also very good. All in all, I highly recommend this tour. The tour company could put a bit more work into their organisational skills, but it all worked out well and Mohammed was an excellent guide to spend three days with.
