The experience is immersive and includes all these elements that help create an even truer bond with the horse that will carry you around.

Please provide your detailed equestrian experience to help us choose the best adventure companion.

Accommodation during the trek will be in shared tents for 6 people or, if you prefer, in an igloo tent for 2 people.

The bivouac is equipped with a shower with warm water.

Your meals are prepared by our chef who will introduce you to the richness of Moroccan cuisine. The menu takes into account the diets or food allergies of participants, communicated in the registration form.

It is customary at the end of the trip to leave a tip for the staff who took care of you during the experience, which can range from 7 to 10% of the trip value.

Soft suitcase, not hard.

Each horse is equipped with a trekking saddle and saddlebags that will allow you to carry your lunch and personal items needed for your day on horseback. It is recommended for sensitive individuals to bring a sheepskin as protection on the saddle.
