The Women's Expedition to Morocco was a fascinating and valuable experience. The trip at its core is a 4-day hike in the High Atlas mountains, led by Morocco's first female hiking guide. On this hike, you are accompanied by a team of cooks who provide every meal before, during and after the hike. The accommodations are basic, but quite nice. The evenings are filled with various cultural experience in which you learn a lot about women in this part of the world.
Over the course of the days, our team (the leader as well as the local guide and cooks) really grew on us, they are such lovely, welcoming people. If you are considering this trip, I would recommend to learn a few words of Amazigh to communicate with them. Also, bring pencils for the local school children, who will be very curious to meet you (and talk to you in French).

Wow! What an incredible and authentic adventure I was lucky to have in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Our guide Bouchra, trainee guides Farah and Karima, hiking guide Mama Bea and the wonderful kitchen team showed the upmost generosity and kindness every step of the way. They were all extremely knowledgeable and unbelievably friendly. Mama Bea is an inspirational woman and was an honour to have her lead us each day. Hiking was a fantastic way to see off the beaten tracks of Morocco (I only saw other tourists on one day). The hiking on day 3 was the most challenging but still entirely manageable with many rest stops and an easy going pace. Most afternoons we had a couple of hours to rest and then we would enjoy an activity or activities and dinner. We met the friendliest locals along the way, laughed a tonne and enjoyed amazing food. The accommodation on day 3-5 is basic (mattresses on the floor with shared bathrooms) but it was extremely clean and I slept very well. We had the ability to charge our phones each night but reception was hit and miss (I was lucky with a Holafly e sim but others didn’t have as much luck). To top it off, the singing, musical instruments and dancing was phenomenal - to participate was extra fun (even for someone with two left feet lol). I highly recommend this amazing trip!!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Absolutely amazing. Had the best time with Chama and Mama Bia. It felt more like travelling with friends than a booked tour. 20 out of 10!

The trip was ver well organized, with a great attention to detail. The itenary was very well thought out, starting with easy hikes and progressing to more challenging. The scenery was beautiful, local guides were very knowledgeable and excellent at picking the best trails, places for picnics. It was just the right combination of nature and culture. Chaimea is an excellent tour leader, she is full of energy and is fun. At the same time she is very well organized and was good at keeping us on schedule.

This trip was amazing, the opportunity to meet all the wonderful locals and be immersed in the stunning Moroccan culture and countryside was a very special experience. Travelling with a small group of like minded women was so much fun and there was a lot of laughter every day. I learnt a lot about Morocco, enjoyed some amazing walks, ate such wonderful food and met awesome people - I would do it all again.
