Day 1: Marrakech, Morocco

Location: Marrakesh

Departure Time: Anytime hrs

Duration: 5 days

Arrival in Marrakech

Welcome to Morocco! We'll be waiting to meet you at Marrakech airport to transfer you into the city and to your accommodation (depending on the time of your arrival). The rest of the day is yours to spend at leisure.

Please note that the final information about exact pick up point will be confirmed 24hrs prior to the time of departure by our local team.

Day 2: Marrakech - Dades Valley, Morocco

Location: Dadès Gorges

Desert Adventure (B/D)

It's an early start today as we pick you up from your accommodation at 7AM and make for the Atlas Mountains. We'll be driving over the stunning Tizi.n.Tichka mountain pass and passing through lots of Berber villages along the way, so sit back and enjoy the view. Once you're in the desert, marvel at riverside oases and barren hillsides dotted with kasbahs (fortified dwellings that house families and their livestock).

You'll have the option along the way to either take a break and visit the Ouarzazate Film Studies, as well as stop by Ait Benhaddou and explore it on your own. This is an ancient fortified city containing countless kasbahs and has been the atmospheric subject of numerous Hollywood flicks like The Mummy, Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, and more. Please note these experiences are self-guided.

Day 3: Dades Valley - Merzouga, Morocco

Location: Merzouga

Todra Gorge and Desert Camp (B/D)

Enjoy breakfast at your accommodation and we'll then journey on to Todra Gorge - a massive fault dividing the High Atlas mountains that rise up 300 meters in a narrow valley with palmeries and Berber villages. You'll be able to go on a hike to explore the palmery - a green oasis full of large date palms. After lunch, we'll head deeper into the desert to the gateway town of Merzouga to pick up supplies for your desert trip.

Next stop will be driving on to a kasbah to pick up your camel! There's truly no better way to experience a desert sunset. As the sun gets low in the sky, you'll trek by camel around 30 to 40 minutes to a Berber camp where the locals will prepare you a traditional Moroccan dinner. Enjoy sleeping under the stars or in tents tonight - it's an experience like no other.

NOTE: We recommend not hiring external tours locally during your time at the desert.

Day 4: Merzouga - Marrakech, Morocco

Location: Marrakesh

Camel Ride and Marrakech Transfer (B)

You'll wake up just before the sun rises today - it's an early start but we promise it's worth it! You'll start the day with another trek by camel to explore the area as the sky begins to light up. We'll head back to Merzouga on camelback and arrive in time for breakfast. You'll have the chance to shower and freshen up before we begin our journey through the stony desert and over the Atlas mountains. It's a long drive back but there'll be plenty of stops for photos, exploring and lunch along the way. Please note these experiences are self-guided.

We'll reach Marrakech between 5-6 PM and you'll spend the night here.

Day 5: Marrakech, Morocco

Location: Marrakesh

Airport transfer (B)

All good things must come to an end! Once you check out of your accommodation this morning, we will transfer you to the airport in time for your flight. Happy travels!

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

The tour was fantastic; I was able to visit some of Japan's most beautiful locations, and the accommodations were excellent, with convenient access to the city's best attractions. Also, our tour guide was fantastic. I will pick bamba again and recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see Japan while having a good time!!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

Feb 20 2020

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

Jun 25 2019

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
