Travel with WILD MOROCCO

 With borders closed and plans postponed there is a lot of talk at the moment about the travel industry as a whole, and more specifically how important SUSTAINANBLE and RESPONSIBLE tourism  is going to be moving forward – I thought it would be interesting to speak to a few people in the travel industry in Morocco to find out how they are intergrating these values into their business, while at the same time giving you an idea of the diversity on offer as a traveller in Morocco.
*
The second of these guest posts has been written by Emily from Wild Morocco – a company that specialises in taking guests off the beaten track and into the Sahara.
 An excursion into the Sahara is a quintessential part of the Moroccan destination experience and with so many operators offering this from budget to high end options, it can be difficult to know who to work with and  what to choose to make sure the experience lives up to all the expectations. Wild Morocco focus on both sustainability and responsibility to make sure you will go home with happy memories as you shake out the sahara sand from your suitcase.
{feature image above is by Michael Breitung who collaborates with Wild Morocco as a tutor on their Photography Tours}

image: Life-by-Lufe

We offer authentic, simple experiences which are unique to this part of the world and not for the masses.

We are passionate about sharing our nomadic background with our visitors. Hiking the desert is the essence of slow travel, we aim to appeal to those wanting to disconnect for a few days, get back to nature, and get back to basics in wilderness camps.

image: Alex Disaro

Our team of guides is the last generation to have grown up as children in the desert, previously practising a way of life that remained unchanged for centuries (i.e. pastoral, transhumance). The majority of our team are indigenous Berber or Sahrawi, whose forebears migrated from further south in Morocco.
You may hike in the region and wonder, how does anyone know how to navigate this, especially in zero visibility dust. Our guides have an innate compass. Imagine spending your childhood as a shepherd in the desert, or migrating through the region each summer for a couple months, and you will know how to read the land.

image: S.Callens

It’s not simply this knowledge of the desert terrain that we can impart to visitors, we like to introduce guests to the way of life and support a very poor region of Morocco.
Most families who once practised transhumance have opted to locate at the desert frontier, Mhamid El Ghizlane, and now the younger working generation support their extended families. Previously, our parents kept farms and livestock in the desert when water was freely available. But once the river Draa was dammed upstream (near Ouarzazate), life in the desert settlement eventually became untenable. The desert encroached on farmland. Water in this region is obtained through deep wells, yet it is now proving scarcer than ever.
However, there are handfuls of families that still live in the region, keeping a few animals and growing subsistence crops.
Tourism is the mainstay in this region of Morocco. Young people normally have to move away from Mhamid El Ghizlane to find work elsewhere.

However, we aim to put our collective local knowledge and skills to work through employment of hiking guides, cooks, camel-handlers and drivers. Young men who are often the main breadwinners will be the source of funding all living costs for three generations of their families. Employing a local team ensures that we benefit our own community.

image: Mart Rebane

Our desert region is not simply sand, there is a rich diversity of flora and fauna, so each hiking day looks different.

We are acutely aware of the scarcity of water, we care for our very fragile environment and only transport enough water for food preparation and hand/face washing. We encourage everyone to collect litter should they find it in the desert, as sadly littering is an issue in parts – the wind carries it. It seems ironic that the ideal of visiting a pristine wilderness should enable some people to simultaneously mistreat it. We hope that the National Park will also enforce better protection of its environment.

A wall in the Medina of #Assilah painted by an artist in last year's Arts Festival - it won't be long before the medina is given a fresh new whitewashed face, last year's art will be lost and a new surface made for some new creative expression. Looking forward to seeing what this year brings to the Medina! #Asilah #northmorocco #artsfestival #murals # medina
