F.A.Q
FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
The
Walks
Most people
who go on guided walking tours worry about how difficult they are
going to be and will I be able to keep up with the group or will I
be the one that slows them down, well don't worry. Our tours are
aimed at those of you who wish to explore the Atlas Mountains at a
moderate pace, so you are not expected to be an avid walker or
incredibly fit and the walks are 4 to 5 hours in duration. All our
walking Guides are experienced and ANGAM guides and all have first
aid training.
For our
self-guided tours you need to be comfortable with walking without
the assistant of a guide. Both our self-guided trails are well
sign-posted and we do provide you with detailed instruction, but it
is advisable to have some navigational
skills.
What if the dates for
the group treks don't fit my
itinerary?
If this is the case, we can organise a bespoke trek for
you. Additionally if you want to spend more time in Marrakech
before or after a trek we can organise the hotels and quote you a
price.
I am a single trekker.
How does this work?
Normally single trekkers have no problems fitting in with
a group. Normally single trekkers share rooms or lodges with other
trekkers of the same sex, but if we have an odd-number we ensure
that a room or lodge is organised
accordingly.
Will I be able to deal
with the high altitude?
Our itineraries are designed so that our clients ascend
at a sensible and safe rate. The effects of altitude are felt by
everyone, even the muleteers, but most people find that gentle
acclimatisation allows them to reach their high point without any
problems.
What Do I Bring
Along
It is not necessary to bring large amounts of clothing as
nowadays there is a readily availability or places where you can
