Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are best for the Atlas, with mild days and little rain. For the Sahara, aim for March–April or October–November; summer is very hot in the desert, and winter brings snow to the high peaks, so winter ascents need extra gear.

No previous trekking experience is needed for most trips: we have routes for every level, from easy valley walks to challenging summits. Toubkal ascents and long traverses call for good fitness, and the 13-day mountain bike tour is for intermediate to advanced riders.

We mainly organise tailor-made trips for your own group, whether you travel solo, as a couple, with friends or as a family. Tell us your group size when you get in touch and we will plan the guide, transport and accommodation to match.
