Kasbah

du Toubkal

Atlas Mountains, Morocco

Mountain and village exploration & trekking

Just 80 kilometres from Marrakech, high above sea level at the base of the highest peak in north Africa, Jbel Toubkal, and set against the dramatic back drop of the High Atlas Mountains, Kasbah du Toubkal feels a world away, and definitely is.

Everything throughout the kasbah, from the intricately carved doors to vibrant rugs, is handmade by local craftsmen from local materials, giving it a sense of genuine warmth and authenticity.  Rooms vary from an apartment suite set over two levels with large plate glass windows and a 10m long balcony for taking in the mountain views, to a standard room which is simple and comfortable and offers eco-friendly, cosy accommodation decorated in authentic Berber style. All guests are provided with a djellaba (a long, hooded robe) and a pair of berber slippers which adds to the sense of cosy well-being. The atmospherically lit restaurant serves delicious, hearty meals created with fresh local ingredients and in warmer months dinner is served on the stunning rooftop terrace showcasing amazing panoramic views and a star studded nighttime sky.

During your stay you will be endlessly entertained by the mountains and their communities. There is plenty of walking, hiking and mountain climbing to enjoy while the nearby Berber town of Asni and the 12th century Tinmel Mosque provide plenty to occupy those interested in the area’s culture and history.

Kasbah du Toubkal is an inviting spot from which you can really explore the majestic Atlas Mountains and delve into Morocco’s rural heritage.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor
