Durring the summer months, the desert is very, very hot. This tour is designed to take in more climate friendly parts of Morocco. This 14 day Safari is an excellent allround trip with more time spent in the Atlas Mountain ranges. This is probably the best time of year to explore the High Atlas; although the temperature can rise in summer the heat is dry and the high altitudes makes it suitable for all the family. Imagine the shaded cool freshness of the vast Cedar Forests, now at their best coated in spectacular flora and fauna; simply stunning!
After travelling south via Volubillis and Meknes, we reach Azrou from where we start our mountain ascent into the Cedar forest; after a night camping under the gigantic trees we continue our climb to the remote Plateau des Lacs in the High Atlas, making camp on the shores of this volcanic lake. We then descend to the pre-Saharan plain via the mighty Todra gorge and Tinerhir.
After which we take a day to relax and explore the market town of Zagora. The exciting Saharan adventure now starts. Experiencing the fabulous ever-changing terrain as we pass through Mhamid & Lake Iriki we emerge at Tata. Crossing the Anti Atlas we stay to explore the Berber market town of Taroudant. We then travel west to the enchanting fishing port of Essaouira , where we take time to regain our senses before the homeward stretch up the Atlantic coast.
