Here in magical Morocco we have the perfect destination for a very relaxed, week long rafting holiday. Set in the magnificent Middle Atlas mountain range the river Ahanssel gushes fresh from the rocks and runs deep through a dramatic river gorge, you'll feel like you are starring in a movie. And the beauty of this river trip, is that all the family can enjoy the experience and have a real adventure together, in this remote, intoxicating location. It is the perfect antidote to those winter blues, the weather is warm and the scenery is stunning. With a chance also to explore the mystical city of Marrakech, get lost in the souqs and marvel at the snake charmers. Morocco will delight you in so many ways.

We find most of our clients have in their posession already what is needed for a river trip. We have broken down here the items into what you'll need on the river and in camp. Each guest will get a drybag to use for the river trip distributed at your Pre-departure meeting in Marrakech. A short video on the size of this and how to pack your drybag can be viewed here. An equipment list of what you will require for your Moroccan adventure will be sent to you prior to your departure along with your Water By Nature Travel Bag and other goodies.
