    This tour packs in a lot and is so reasonably priced. Our tour guide Mohamed Ebrahim was very educated about all the sites and went above and beyond for everyone on the tour including getting 3 of us that had birthdays that week a beautiful cake! If you can book a tour with Mohamed, you will be taken care of excellently!

    From start to finish, I was thrilled and impressed with the Moroccan cycling tour. As a pretty avid cyclist, I was hesitant about booking the trip due to what I considered as low cycling mileage on the itinerary. I decided, however, to go with the trip because for me, it was more about seeing and experiencing Morocco than cycling (which I can do a lot of at home). I'm so glad I did! My particular tour had a main guide, Mohamed, and a guide in training, Rachid. The two alternated lead and rear positions, enabling faster riders to ride ahead of the group at an adequately challenging pace with one and slower paced riders could take their time (and lots of photos) with the other. It was perfect! Plus, with a bit of travel lag and all of the other activities on the itinerary, the amount and length of rides turned out to be just right. I especially appreciated how the guides provided Strava route information for the rides, as well as a daily itinerary summary at the beginning of each day. In the trip itinerary literature, It was recommended to take a sleeping bag for winter season trips. I took one and was extremely that glad I did. All hotels had heat and extra blankets but for me personally, I needed more to be comfortable. I used my sleeping bag plus wore Mountain Hardware Ghost Whisperer pants and jacket to sleep in. Perfect. For daytime activities, I had a light jacket, a fleece vest, and a down-filled puffy vest which was great for layering. On the bike, I wore arm warmers, a base layer, a jersey, and a wind vest. On a couple of days, I also wore an additional light wind/rain jacket. On the bottom I wore cycling shorts covered by ankle-length cycling leggings. I took fleece-lined leggings as well but those weren't necessary. Short and full finger gloves a must, as well as thicker socks, and a neck/head covering beneath the helmet. Two cycling kits were adequate - there was enough time to wash and air-dry articles of clothing when needed. If in doubt, take more rather than less warm outerwear. With regard to food, there was always more than plenty of it and it was absolutely delicious! Generous amounts of snacks and beverages were also provided during rides. In addition, the guides provided excellent suggestions for reasonably priced places to eat meals that were not included in the trip. I cannot recall one instance during the entire trip in which I desired more or different food options. Overall, I enjoyed every second of the trip. The guides were young, fun, respectful, flexible, fit and well-organized. They went out of their way to get medicine for people who needed it, they arranged for me to get my delayed luggage from the airport two days after my arrival, and they even treated our group to incredible hospitality at their family's home for tea and dessert. Our driver, Mohamed, was also extremely safe at all times and the bike workers worked very efficiently to keep all cyclists on the road with minimal down-time. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! An absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish!

    This trip was a well-organized adventure that exceeded all my expectations. Itinerary: The itinerary was perfectly crafted, balancing game drives, cultural experiences, and downtime. Each day was filled with exploration, whether it was tracking the Big Five in the Maasai Mara or visiting a local Maasai village to learn about their traditions. The mix of activities kept the trip dynamic, and I appreciated how the schedule allowed for some flexibility—our guide often adjusted plans based on wildlife sightings and guest preferences. Guide/Driver/Chef: Our guide, Elijah, was a true gem. His deep knowledge of wildlife and the ecosystem enriched every game drive. He had a knack for spotting animals from miles away and shared fascinating insights into their behaviours and habitats. Beyond his expertise, Elijah was incredibly personable, making the experience feel more like an adventure with a friend than a standard tour. His commitment to the local community shone through, adding a meaningful layer to our experience. Special thanks to Ammos and Judy. These 3 made the trip unforgettable. Overall Organization: The trip's organization was impeccable. From the moment we landed in Nairobi, everything was seamless. Great care was taken to ensure our comfort and enjoyment throughout the trip. Overall, this Kenyan safari was an adventure of a lifetime. The stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and rich culture made for a perfect blend. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough—it’s a must for any nature lover or adventure seeker! I’m already dreaming of my next visit to Kenya/Africa!
