Morocco Rafting Weekend Trip Including Marrakech
Ahansel River - River Rush
What better way to see Morocco than with a whitewater rafting trip to the Ahansel River in the heart of the Atlas Mountains. You'll get to sample Marrakech and all it's sights, sounds, souks and vibrance, as well as being able to escape to one of the least known valleys in Morocco for some rafting on Moroccos best river. You'll be fed wonderful food and looked after safely on the river by our team of world class guides, who have amazing knowledge in this remote area. Come and see the great work we are doing at one of the local schools, or take a walk up to one of the Casbahs along the river. You'll get to raft through spectacular gorges and amazing rapids on the way down this 80 km journey. Come and sample for yourselves one of Moroccos premier adventure activities.

Day 1
You can arrange a flight for arrival into Marrakech at any time today. Our team will collect you from the airport (look for a RAFTING MOROCCO SIGN) and take you to our Riad in the heart of the medina. They'll show you around and we normally meet for a pre-departure meeting on the roof of the Riad to pass out your equipment for the trip, plus answer any questions you might have about the trip. Then it is off either into the main square to check out all the jugglers, acrobats and story tellers or head to one of the many excellent restaurants in town.
No meals Included
Day 2
After breakfast, we'll collect you from your Riad and we'll take the gorgeous drive along the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. En route we'll stop for a cup of traditional mint tea and for our lunch stop, we'll stop at the impressive Cascade D'Ouzoud, Morocco's highest waterfall for a sumptuous lunch of shish kebabs or the traditional tagine, a meat stew with vegetables cooked in a clay pot.
The afternoon sees us drive around Lake Bin El Ouidane, the spectacular lake where the King has a summer residence. We drive over the foothills to the Atlas Mountains to the village of Tiloguite. Take a stroll through the village with the guides and take a visit to the school which we have supported for more than a decade. Relax at our riverside Berber Camp, enjoy wonderful sundowners before dinner and a drink from the bar

Day 3
After a great night sleep beside the river, you'll awaken to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and the team preparing your breakfast. No need to get out of bed, we'll deliver the hot drinks! We issue wetsuits, booties, spray jackets, life jackets and helmets before your Trip Leader gives you a safety talk and paddle instructions. After some land based practise, we set off down river with rapids coming thick and fast from around 2 miles after we put on the river. This river is so much fun with fun and bouncy rapids in high water and narrow gaps to manouvre in low water, you'll enjoy every minute of it. We stop for lunch on the side of the river, or perhaps we may take in a walk up to one of the Casbahs in the area. We reach our camp for the evening in time for a drink and a relax at camp before dinner.
Included: All meals
Day 4
This morning you have the option of a spectacular hike up to the top of the gorge for spectacular views back to camp. After we leave Mustafa and our crew, we'll paddle through some spectacular gorges out onto the Lake where we are met by our speed boat which tows us back across the lake. We'll stop at the Widiane Resort for lunch and a shower and a soak in the hot tub! Once back at the bus, we'll get changed, you'll get a FREE PHOTO CD and we'll drive back to Marrakech and our Riad. We normally go out for a meal tonight as a group in one of the mant excellent restaurants in Marrakech!
