Dom has trekked and climbed in the mountains of the High Atlas for years.  We have chosen this trek to give the best that the High Atlas can offer in a 6 day African Adventure!

Toubkal is the  the highest mountain in North Africa standing at 4,167 metres. Surrounded by the ancient Berber culture, this trek is a real challenge to altitude in a short space of time but also very acheivable and great for those with little or no treking experience. Dom prides himself on a really high success rate on those reaching the summit of Toubkal!

The six day trip starts and ends with a night in Marrakech where you can kick back in a more modern version of North African culture, and be amazed by dancing cobras and great shopping!
