Transfer Option:

Day 1 Arrival at Agadir airport. Please tell us your hour of expected arrival so we can collect you at the airport. Tonight we have dinner at the hotel and sleep there.

Day 2 Before starting the ride, we meet our horses. After introduction we start the day by riding across the fertile plain of the Souss where many beautiful sandy roads allow gallops. In this region, the vegetables are grown in greenhouses to protect them against stark changes in temperature. Due to this practice, you can have tomatoes, potatoes and zucchinis all year round, even in winter. Between the greenhouses are some open fields where dry bushes grow that the local people use to feed their sheep and goats. The camp is outside the last villages where an immense plain stretches towards the mountains on the horizon.

Day 3 Never ending sandy roads take us from one Berber village to the next. Here, made out of red clay, the walls are mostly hidden by cactus bushes. However, you may see that behind every cactus a pair of curious eyes looks at us wherever we go, as horse and riders are very a very unusual sight in these regions. Under the hot sun, the farmers here are only capable of growing a few crops and live most of the time off their livestock of sheep and goats which are taken care of by young children or old people.

Day 4 Today we leave the fertile plains of the Souss to descend into the rocky and deserted hills, filled with cactus fields and bushes. The Berber people in this region live off the production of oil from the nuts of the local Argantrees and off the sheep that they raise. It's surprising to see the little goats being able to climb in the bushes here to get the few leaves that are still left. Our lunch time stop is at the side of the lake located between the mountains. In the afternoon we continue our way between the hills under the pleasant chatter of birds. We spend the night on the shore of Lake Youssef Ibn Tachafine.

Day 5 Today we climb over the hills of Tachilla that give us one more view of the blue waters of the lake before we head for the region of Tiznit. The landscape varies between dry sand dunes, big rocky plains and a deep canyon we have to cross. We leave the horses in a small village and a car takes us to the city of Tiznit, which is very famous for its silverworks. In the afternoon we visit the Medina of Tiznit and you have time to check out the infamous silver work. We have dinner and spend the night at a hotel in Tiznit.

Day 6 Return to the horses that spent the night outside Tiznit. In the morning we cross the stony plane towards the Atlantic. After the first hour we reach woods of succulents and cacti. This wild part is very impressive and often we have to search for the way. Finally we come to the last hill. A fresh wind blows over from the Atlantic and long gallops over the sandy plane bring us to the ocean. We follow sandy paths and ride along the beach enjoying the waves. We enjoy a picnic beside the Atlantic on top of the coast. In the afternoon many long gallops brings us to the camp on the Atlantic coast.

Day 7 The entire morning we follow the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, going once in a while into the dunes and low hills nearby. The morning ride ends on an enormous deserted beach where we have the chance for a real race. Only the cries of the seagulls and the sound of the waves break the silence in this area. Flocks of birds, seagulls and pink flamingos will make way as our horses race neck and neck. Before lunch, we reach the Oued Souss, which is also a bird reservation. The birds’ chants will accompany us for a long time. Our picnic is in the middle of a big eucalyptus forest. Slowly we travel back to civilization. After an emotional goodbye with our horses, we are driven back towards the hotel where we will share our last meal and sleep for the night.
