We'll then continue our adventure through the Ounila Valley until we reach the spectacular fortified village of Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. After spending some time here, we'll head towards Ouarzazate, where the Kasbah of Taourirt and the old Main Palace of the Glaoui stand out. If you'd like, you can also make a stop to visit the cinema studios in the area. Then we'll pass through Skoura and pay a visit to Kasbah Amridil, the Valley of Roses. It's been an action-packed morning so when we arrive in Dades in the afternoon, you'll have some time to yourself.

Day 4: Dades - Merzouga, Morocco

Today, we'll be journeying deep into the beautiful Sahara desert. Our first stop today will be to enjoy a spectacular view of the winding road in the Dades Valley. We'll then head towards Tinghir (the Gorges of Todra) which stands at 1.450m altitude and is surrounded by beautiful palm groves. After a walk around this stunning area, we'll continue to Erfoud and Merzouga where we'll be spending the night. We'll enjoy a tea break in front of the majestic dunes of the Erg Chebbi, then we'll hop onto camels to trek over the sand - there's no better way to see a desert! To finish this wonderful day, you will enjoy a tasty local dinner in a nomadic campsite. Sit back and star-gaze into the desert sky and enjoy the local music.

Day 5: Merzouga - Fez, Morocco

Moustafa Elmouden

Camel Ride and transfer to Fez (B)

We'll wake up early today to marvel at the sunrise over the desert. After breakfast, we'll make our way back to the hotel in Merzouga by camel.

We'll cross the Tafilalet palm grove and the Ziz Valley to arrive at Azrou, where we will pause briefly in the cedar forest to spot cheeky monkeys in the wild. We'll continue through Ifran to arrive in Fez in the late evening.

Day 6: Fez, Morocco

We'll also visit the famous Al Qaraouine University which is the oldest in the region, the tanners, the Royal Palace, the Jewish headquarters, the leather and ceramic cooperatives and more.

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.
