Here in magical Morocco we have the perfect destination for a very relaxed, week long river 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 rafting 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.

YOUR SAFETY

Rafting has long been plagued by the myth that it is dangerous, extreme and only for adrenaline junkies. Rafting is our profession, so we take it seriously. We are serious about safety, about good food, good times and serious about fun! We offer trips to suit all ages and abilities - it is not about fitness, Rafting is about fun. Our youngest white water rafting client to date was 6 years old, and our most mature was a 73 year old blind chap, who did a 7-day Zambezi white water rafting trip! (He was not into the scenery, but loved getting wet).

Your safety on our rafting trips is our number one priority on and off the river. Without exception we believe in safety kayakers on all rafting trips. In addition, on our more challenging rafting trips we utilize a safety cataraft. Our biggest safety feature are our world-class, certified, professional rafting guides – you will appreciate the difference that they make.

We have a comprehensive first aid kit and all our guides are trained in Wilderness First Aid. We also carry satellite phones on all of our trips and we were the first rafting company to do this.

With our enviable safety record we are at the forefront of the white-water industry with our constant training and innovative safety procedures.

GOURMET FOOD

At the end of a great day rafting on the river, cool après rafting drinks will be served to you along with platters of snacks. You will love sipping your gin and tonic or cold beer amongst spectacular surroundings.

Nothing tastes better than a delicious meal cooked by your rafting guide, who transforms into a fantastic riverside chef in the evening. (River rafting guides actually think of themselves as cooks and cleaners who raft to work each day). You will be amazed at just what will be whipped up out of the raft’s coolers. We cater for all dietary preferences as long as you let us know!

OUR EQUIPMENT

We believe high quality rafting equipment makes for a safer and more comfortable rafting trip for you, the client. When rafting on the river you’ll wear high flotation Americas Cup life jackets and sturdy helmets and on our cooler trips, wetsuits and waterproof spray jackets.

Off the river, with your gin and tonic in hand, we believe camping should be civilized. Stay cool in the shade under large tarps, lounging in comfy thermorest seats, chatting with your fellow adventurers. You will sleep well in quality tents, on thick thermorests.

We use AVON self-bailing rafts, specifically designed for paddle rafting, which means you as a paddler are stable and comfortable. We find most of our guests have in their posession everything that is needed for a river trip and little if anything needs to be purchased on your part for the trip.
