Refuge bascecamp - Toubkal Ascent 4167- Imlil - Marrakech
Food and Drinks
BREAKFAST
Breakfast
LUNCH
Lunch
An early start will take you to the top of the highest peak in North Africa 4167m. The summit has an incomparable view of the Atlas Mountains, the Sahara Desert and the environments that have enclosed them for centuries. The time you spend at the top will depend on the weather. Normally, you will have enough time for around 30 minutes at the summit and then descend to the refuge for lunch. The day involves around 10 to 12hours walking and finishes back in Imlil. Should you have any trouble with being that far above sea level, Brahim and Mohamed are more than happy to spend a couple of days before the ascent journeying through the nearby villages, at a much lower altitude until you acclimatize. This is a common method for preventing altitude sickness and gives you a fantastic opportunity to explore more of the Atlas region.

Mount toubkal trek

5.00Second time using this your operator. Booked a 2 day trek up mount toubkal. Good communication with the tour operator. Our guide Hassan Toudaoui was really helpful. He answered any questions we had and had all our food and accommodation sorted at the different stages of the trek. The views were stunning and an enjoyable experience overall. Would recommend.
Beautiful hike and perfect guiding

5.00The hike up Toubkal was a great experience. The organization of the tour was very professional by Toudaoui Tour (Trekking in Morocco). At the pickup point in Marrakech we were picked up on time and started in Imlil first with a tea to the tour briefing and control whether we have everything necessary in the luggage. During the ascent, the guide adapted the pace to the ability of the participants. (The group consisted of only two people so it was very pleasant) In the hut we had a pleasant small camp to sleep. The next morning we could determine the start time. We started early and were at the summit for the beautiful sunrise. Also where we wanted to have breakfast and lunch we could choose flexibly. I can highly recommend the organizer. The guiding is great, the transfers on time and all in a small flexible group. 5/5

5.00The organisation time critical for me because I had a tight flight schedule. Everything went according to clockwork and I had the most fabulous time possible. The highlight was, of course, reaching the top. I am 65 years old so it was a particularly satisfying achievement.
Great team, great management.

5.00We were collected from Marrakesh and spent five days climbing in the East and West Atlas mountains. We were looked after brilliantly, and everything went to plan. When there was an issue that was out of our control, Trekking Morocco were fast to react and ensure that alternate plans were made swiftly and calmly. The guides were professional, thoughtful, sensible and entertaining. The management of this company has a long history of tourism in Morocco and they are very well known locally. They can be relied on in ways that organisations outside Morocco may not be able to achieve. They are extremely helpful and reliable and genuinely just want you to be happy and safe. I have no hesitation to recommend them based off our experience. Will Stocker.

5.00Probably one of my best experiences this year was hiking to the peak of Toubkal mountain with Trekking Morocco! I’m super happy about this trip even if it was difficult and challenging for me. Without this company I wouldn’t been able to accomplish this. Mohammed the owner is great, always super friendly! Abdul my guide always at my disposal. He always gave me strength and helped me when I was about to quit! He always offered to carry my bag and push me not to give up! Nourdin, the chef was great. His food was so delicious and always gave me energy after every hike I came back from! All the staff here went above and beyond their duties and my expectations. I would recommend this tour to anyone who liked to hike Toubkal m
Amazing summit to the top....harder than you think!

5.00Mohamed toudoui (owner), Hassan (tour guide) Mohamed (tour cook) were brilliant throughout and eased all our concerns in a new country. WhatsApp communications was greatly appreciated too! Hassan was an experienced guide of 26 years and it runs in his family. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back and do it all over again. He speaks 6 or more languages and provides an immense historical overview of the area....he is also very popular and knows everybody! Me and my girlfriend (two city workers) arrived in Morocco to find our itinerary fully planned for the 2 days before we settled back into our own Riad. Day 1 - we were met at the airport by a taxi driver to take us to Riad Africa. tip: there are two meeting points for the taxi driver I) inside the airport and II) just outside so don’t panic like we did! The Riad was comfortable enough and conveniently located 5 mins from the main square. Day 2- we were picked up at 9am (at exactly 9am there was a knock on the door- impeccable timing) by another cab driver and taken to Imlil where the office was located. Greeted by the office manager, mohamed and Hassan to take us up to the mountain refuge. The day involves moderate trekking (no climbing) for 3-5 hours in the sun to the lunch spot (depending on pace). Then a further 3 hours with a more moderate climb to the refuge before the sun comes down. Food was good but double check in case you are gluten free...mint tea is also in plentiful supply. The refuge is basic (as can be expected) but the rooms are relatively warm and sleeping bags can be provided on request. Day 3 - a early 4am start allows for the ascent of the mount toulbal summit in the pitch black (head torches are definitely needed and warm clothing but head torches can also be rented)).The stars are amazing and be prepared to see many shooting stars! The climb is challenging if you aren’t in good shape and it takes about 3 hours of serious walking / climbing to get there for sunrise (scrambling over rocks and high steps). The oxygen is at a minimum and takes it out of you if you aren’t prepared so be prepared to get light headed and take regular breaks. The view I will let you judge for yourself but it’s safe to say I am still in awe. You will then ascent back down to Imlil all in one day (lunch and tea stops included) where a cab will be waiting to take you back to luxury. All in all the trip was perfectly organised and the Moroccan / Berber population have exceeded our expectations of being friendly and helpful. Top tips: I) take a bag and leave your luggage at your hotel / in the office Ii) water can be purchased in route iii) sleeping bags, torches, gloves can be rented out iv) in summer it’s exhausting both physically and mentally.
