THE VIBE

This is Morocco in convoy—a small caravan led by our Berber family partners. Expect real context in motion: ecology, land stewardship, oral history, foodways, music, craft—layered into each day’s route. It’s intimate by design—family-led, not just “guided.” You’ll cross cedar valleys and High Atlas passes, drift into the dunes for a private Sahara camp under a star-splashed sky, cook and eat like locals, reset in a hammam, and close in Marrakech with design-forward energy. Logistics, permits, timing: on us. Belonging, depth, and ease: for you.

WHO IT’S FOR

  • Curious first-timers to Morocco/North Africa who want substance without the big-bus vibe.

  • Small-group travelers who value intimacy, access, and a human pace.

  • Food + culture people who want markets, a hands-on cooking session, and hammam rituals alongside the sights.

  • Guests who haven’t always felt invited into outdoor/cultural travel and want a space built with care and respect.

  • Solo travelers, couples, and friend pairs who want community without the crowd.

  • Comfortable with light/moderate walking on uneven terrain; no technical skills required—we handle the logistics.

WHAT YOU GET

  • Family-led convoy travel (local drivers/hosts; culturally grounded guidance)

  • 5 - 7 unique charming riad stays nightly

  • Private luxury Sahara camp (chef dinner, firelight, stargazing)

  • Culinary immersion (market walk + hands-on cooking)

  • Guided city time (Casablanca, Atlas valleys, Marrakech) with local experts

  • Camel trek at sunset in Erg Chebbi (optional sandboard/buggies)

  • Hammam spa reset

  • All in-country ground transport, permits, and entries

  • Daily breakfasts; most lunches & dinners (per day plan)

  • Camp Yoshi host team + Berber family guides throughout
    International flights not included.

ITINERARY (10 DAYS)

Day 1 — Casablanca
Touch down and step into the Atlantic breeze. The Hassan II Mosque sets the scale; the Aïn Diab seafront sets the pace. We gather for a welcome dinner that feels like chapter one.
Overnight: Radisson Blu or Barceló Anfa (Casablanca)

Day 2 — Lac Bin Ouidane
Convoy rolls east—valleys open, water turns that deep Moroccan blue. Short leg-stretch walks, easy viewpoints, and your first real exhale. Sunset sneaks up on the lake.
Overnight: Widiane Resort (lakefront)

Day 3 — High Atlas (Wild Camp)
The road climbs; stories do, too. Our Berber fam reads the land—fields, passes, village life—until mountains wrap the horizon. We camp under stars and silence, with a fire that does most of the talking.
Overnight: Wild camp in the Atlas

Day 4 — Rose Valley → Erfoud
Morning stroll out of camp; the Rose Valley blooms in color and texture. Tea with a nomad family adds context that no guidebook can. Todra Gorge narrows your focus, then the desert starts whispering.
Overnight: Riad Madu (Erfoud)

Day 5 — Sahara (Merzouga)
Tires leave pavement; sand takes over. Play is optional—dune buggies, sandboards—but sunset by camel is non-negotiable. Our private Sahara camp appears like a mirage; the night is music, fire, and sky.
Overnight: Private luxury desert camp

Day 6 — Deep Desert → Skoura
Dawn paints the dunes; we drift toward Skoura’s palm oasis. Pool, shade, kasbah corridors, and a golden hour that lingers. The convoy moves slow on purpose today.
Overnight: Kasbah Tamsna or Riad Dar Chamaa (Skoura)

Day 7 — Ouarzazate → Aït Benhaddou → Marrakech
Film-lot glimpses, then the UNESCO ksar that launched a thousand scenes. Over the pass and into Marrakech, where we land in a boutique riad and reset with a hammam that erases road miles.
Overnight: Boutique riad (Marrakech)

Day 8 — Marrakech Immersion
We thread the medina—souks, squares, palaces—guided by people who know the shortcuts and the stories. Afternoon color study at Majorelle/YSL. Evening hands-on cooking turns market finds into dinner.
Overnight: Boutique riad (Marrakech)

Day 9 — Marrakech, Your Way
Your tempo: atelier visits, café time, or a photo wander that ends somewhere delicious. (Whispered option: Essaouira as a half-day add-on.) We close out together, convoy-style.
Overnight: Boutique riad (Marrakech)

Day 10 — Departures
Breakfast, hugs, airport. You’ll leave with sand in your shoes and new family in your phone.
