Morocco 2023 Trip
Hello everyone
Just though I would post up a thought balloon and get some feedback from some seasoned Morocco travellers.
I am giving serious thought to heading to Morocco with a "tour group" in October of 2023.
Now before you all call me a woussy,let me share my thoughts.
I have done 2 "events" with this organisation, the longest one was "O caminho mais longo" in Portugal where we basically drove off pavement from the very north to the very south of Portugal.
I will admit I though this was going to be a sort of american style "follow the leader" type of plod through the country, and it was anything but! Excellent event,fantastic people,amazing places we stayed at and the food was terrific.
I did more hard core,technical terrain than I have ever done in my life on this event,and would do it again in a heart beat.
Now these folks are heading to Morocco (they do go there a few times as well as Tunisia ect),small group of 10 cars, not a follow the leader type deal, you sort of hook up with who you want and there is always a sweeper vehicle with a "mechanic" that brings up the rear along with a doctor/medical person should something go completely pear shaped.
Now as I would be heading out alone (my wife cares not for this sort of vehicular activities),it would at least give me some folks with common interest to speak with,hang out and tackle any sort of obstacles/spot ect with.
I dont believe we will be doing any sort of hard core offroading in Morocco, it would be silly to do stupid stuff so far from home, but you can always have a mechanical breakdown or simply hurt yourself outdoors and going with a group would help me get a feel for what its like live on the ground in Morocco and still have the benefit of having a "buddy" you could rely on if the bad stuff happens.
I think we will be staying in hotels each night with secure parking so that solves any issues with that, and we would share meals at breakfast and supper at the start and end of each day,with all the time in between to travel at your own pace.
So thoughts welcome
Cheers,
Paulo
