Dom has trekked and climbed in the mountains of the High Atlas for over 25 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!
