General description


A five-day trip for sport and nature lovers, focused on the water element. Perfect also for a peaceful and relaxing vacation in the hot summer months, far from the chaos of the cities.

Starting from Marrakech, we’ll drive east towards the Ouzoud waterfalls, crossing the Central High Atlas and the Tadla-Azilal region. In spite of being one of the top destinations of the South of Morocco, visited by thousands of tourists every year, the Ouzoud waterfalls have kept intact over the years their authentic taste and the charm of an unspoiled nature. After two days of outdoor activities and fun in a thick forest enclosed among mountains of red heart, we'll move east across the Beni Mellal region to discover the blue crystal water and the stunning scenery of the Bin El Ouidane lake, at about 850 mt of altitude in the heart of the High Atlas mountains, in a precious landscape dotted with a multitude of beautiful small bays (renowned for carp fishing) and numerous islets appearing and disappearing as the water level lowers or raises. The Bin El Ouidane lake will be the perfect place for your nature holiday or your healthy sport break, with plenty of excellent opportunities for water sports lovers, including kayaking tours and jet sky adventures.
