Super nice tour with the best guide
September 18, 2026by: Lina Reith - GermanyWir hatten eine wunderschöne 5-tägige Reise durch Marokko und sie war definitiv eines der Highlights unseres Urlaubs! 🇲🇦 Ein ganz besonderer Dank geht an unsere Guides Mohamed, Charaf und Abdul, die diese Reise zu einem so tollen Erlebnis gemacht haben. Mohamed war unser Bergführer während des Toubkal-Teils und war sehr hilfsbereit, freundlich und kompetent. Wir haben uns jederzeit sicher und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Charaf war während der Merzouga-Wüstentour ein großartiger Guide. Er war sehr freundlich, lustig und hat dafür gesorgt, dass wir die ganze Zeit eine tolle Zeit hatten. Auch Abdul, unser Fahrer, war super – immer freundlich, hilfsbereit und ein sehr sicherer Fahrer. Durch ihn waren auch die längeren Fahrten viel angenehmer. Wir haben so viele wunderschöne Orte gesehen – von den Atlasbergen und dem Toubkal bis hin zur Wüste von Merzouga. Alles war gut organisiert und wir konnten in nur fünf Tagen viele verschiedene Seiten Marokkos kennenlernen. Wir würden diese Tour auf jeden Fall jedem empfehlen, der mehr von Marokko sehen und eine unvergessliche Erfahrung machen möchte. Vielen Dank an Mohamed, Charaf und Abdul für diese fünf tollen Tage! ❤️🇲🇦


Super nice great tour with guide Charaf!
September 18, 2026by: Rosalinda Berg - GermanyWe had an amazing 5-day trip to Toubkal and then continued on to Merzouga, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! A huge thank you to our guide Charaf, who was incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable throughout the whole trip. He made sure we always felt comfortable and safe, and he really helped make the experience special. He was also great company and made the long days much more enjoyable. We also want to thank Abdul, who was an amazing driver and made the journey from Toubkal to Merzouga so smooth and relaxed. He was very kind, reliable and always made sure everything was taken care of. From the mountains and beautiful landscapes around Toubkal to the desert in Merzouga, the whole trip was unforgettable. We saw so many different sides of Morocco in just a few days and had an incredible time. We would definitely recommend Charaf and Abdul to anyone looking for a great and reliable team for exploring Morocco! 🇲🇦❤️

Excellente excursion entre amis et famille !
September 14, 2026by: Frederico Lopez - FranceProgram: 3 days Authentic Morocco Adventures with Local Experts
L'excursion dans la globalité est excellente. Charaf est un très bon guide qui maîtrise bien l'anglais et le français. Sur les trajets en van, il nous a expliqué pleins de notions super intéressantes et enrichissantes. C'est un guide super dynamique et l'ambiance générale était superbe. Le planning était très clair et pour 3 jours, on a pu faire beaucoup de choses. L'hôtel de la 1e nuit laisse à désirer en terme d'hygiène et le dîner n'était pas très copieux mais pour la 2e nuit, les tentes étaient sympa malgré le fait que les douches communes n'avaient pas de pommeau de douche. Les autres repas étaient bons. Les activités proposées comme les visites de famille berbères, ls coopératives, la balade en chameau étaient géniales. Je recommande cette excursion les yeux fermés si vous voulez vivre dss expériences authentiques entre amis/famille !

Toubkal Trek & Sahara Desert Adventure
September 08, 2026by: Charaf Eddine - MoroccoOur Toubkal and Sahara Desert adventure was an incredible experience from beginning to end. Everything was well organized, from our airport pickup to our final airport drop-off, and we had the opportunity to experience some of the most beautiful landscapes and adventures in Morocco. One of the highlights was climbing Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa at 4,167 meters. The trek was challenging but absolutely worth it. Lahsen, our Toubkal guide, was excellent. He was professional, patient, encouraging, and very knowledgeable about the mountains and Amazigh culture. He made us feel safe throughout the trek and helped us reach the summit at 4,167 meters. The views from the top were breathtaking, and we took some amazing photos that will always remind us of this adventure. The landscapes along the way were also spectacular, with beautiful mountain valleys, villages, and panoramic views. After Toubkal, we continued our journey from Marrakech toward the Sahara Desert with Fowi, who was our guide throughout this part of the trip. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to explain the places, landscapes, and local culture we discovered along the way. He made the long journey enjoyable and helped us get the most out of every stop. We also really enjoyed our stay in Tinghir. The hotel was comfortable, welcoming, and a great place to relax after a long day of traveling. Staying in Tinghir was a wonderful part of the journey because of the beautiful oasis, mountains, and nearby Todra Gorge. The area is well known for its spectacular landscapes and traditional Amazigh culture. Salah, our driver, was also excellent throughout the journey. He was professional, careful, friendly, and made us feel comfortable during all the long drives. We always felt safe with him, and he helped make the road journey itself part of the experience. A special thank you goes to Meriam, who organized and coordinated the entire tour from beginning to end. She was responsible for making sure everything was properly arranged, including the airport pickup, accommodation, Toubkal experience, transportation, desert activities, ATV experience, and final airport drop-off. She was very responsive and made the whole trip feel smooth and stress-free. The Sahara Desert was the perfect way to finish our adventure. Arriving in Merzouga, seeing the golden dunes, enjoying the desert atmosphere, and experiencing the ATV activity were unforgettable moments. We had plenty of opportunities to take incredible photos and enjoy the beauty of the desert. From reaching 4,167 meters on Mount Toubkal to exploring the valleys around Tinghir and finally experiencing the Sahara dunes, this trip gave us an amazing combination of mountains, culture, nature, adventure, and relaxation. A huge thank you to Meriam for organizing everything, Lahsen for the unforgettable Toubkal trek, Fowi for guiding us from Marrakech to the Sahara, and Salah for making every journey comfortable and safe. We highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover the adventurous and beautiful side of Morocco.



One of my best travel
September 03, 2026by: Abdelilah Tazman - MoroccoProgram: 3 days Authentic Morocco Adventures with Local Experts
I had an amazing 3-day trip to Merzouga from Marrakech with *Global Adventure*. *Foad* was so professional and made sure everything was perfect, and *driver Aziz* was the best! Safe driving, great music, and he showed us the most beautiful spots on the way. The desert camp, camel ride in Merzouga, and sunrise were unforgettable. Highly recommend them especially for students! Thank you Global Adventure.

Unforgettable Sahara Desert Adventure
August 30, 2026by: meriam najah - MoroccoProgram: 3 days Authentic Morocco Adventures with Local Experts
I traveled to the Sahara Desert last year with Charaf, our guide, and Hicham, our driver, and it was an amazing experience from beginning to end. Charaf was very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Morocco, while Hicham was an excellent and professional driver who made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. We visited beautiful places, enjoyed the camel ride, watched the sunset over the dunes, and spent an unforgettable night in the desert. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Morocco!
Why I cannot regret choosing Astute Safaris
August 26, 2026by: Tovar Khan - RussiaProgram: 10-Day Kenya and Tanzania Safari Ultimate Wildlife Immersion
Wow, can't say much for now until we are done, but so far in our 7th day on 10 days safari, I can't hesitate to say we are enjoying each minute of our journer. Our guide sounds like university lecturer not missing a single details in his explanations on animals, plants, he seems to know every bird we see, every person we meet they seem to know him even at the maasai village seemed like his second home and made us feel like we belonged there. I recommend every bit of Astute Africa Safaris
Great experience with Africa tours Marrakech
August 23, 2026by: Hassan’s Mezane - United StatesProgram: Experience the Moroccan Sahara: 3-Day Merzouga Desert Tour
I had an absolutely amazing experience with Africa Tours Marrakech on our 3-day desert tour! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the whole journey was truly unforgettable. The landscapes, the Atlas Mountains, Ait Ben Haddou, the Dades Valley, and especially the Sahara Desert were incredible. The camel ride at sunset and spending the night in the desert were definitely highlights of the trip. A huge thank you to the whole team for their professionalism, hospitality, and kindness. Everything was comfortable and well arranged, and we always felt taken care of. This was much more than just a tour—it was a beautiful experience and a wonderful way to discover Morocco. I highly recommend Africa Tours Marrakech to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized, and unforgettable Moroccan desert adventure. Thank you for the amazing memories
I had the absolute time of my life
August 06, 2026by: Georgie Kyle - South AfricaProgram: Warriors Gap Year Experiences
Warriors Academy has been one of the greatest adventures of my life. Through exciting outdoor challenges and unforgettable experiences, I’ve developed valuable skills in leadership, teamwork, resilience, and adventure activities. Every day has pushed me to grow beyond my comfort zone while doing what I love most. The incredible people, the breathtaking experiences, and the constant opportunities to learn have made my time at Warriors Academy the time of my life.
Let' go to morocco
June 30, 2026by: Africa Marrakech - MoroccoWorking at Sahara Tours was a rewarding experience that allowed me to develop strong customer service, communication, and teamwork skills. I assisted in providing travelers with a welcoming and enjoyable experience while ensuring professionalism and attention to detail. The role helped me improve my problem-solving abilities, adapt to different situations, and work effectively in a fast-paced tourism environment. I enjoyed being part of a team dedicated to creating memorable travel experiences for guests.



Well planned and executed safari and beach stay at Diani
June 05, 2026by: Wolfgand Van - NetherlandsOur 4th safari in Africa turned out to be the most memorable safari in Kenya as family ever. Thank you, Astute team for a well-executed holiday, from planning, booking to the actual 7 days safari to Samburu, Aberdare, Naivasha and Maasai Mara before flying to Diani beach (the best beach, friendly people everywhere). Our guide Simon is the best of all very calm but jovial all the way.
An unforgettable 7 days safari experience with outstanding service and exceptional safari guide
May 08, 2026by: Casten Schmidt - British Virgin IslandsProgram: 7-Day Unlimited Bush Safari: Masai Mara Amboseli Safari
We were looking to book a 1 week safari in Kenya and after some research, came across Astute Africa Safaris. From the start, communication was quick, clear and very smooth with various options to choose from. They helped us organize the entire trip, including whole safari as a package. We spent 2 nights at Masai Mara with great game drives daily where we had incredible experience both with our guide and interacting with Masai people at the Masai village. We then headed to Lake Nakuru and then Lake Naivasha where we did boat ride and crescent Island walking tour. We ended we 3 days at amboseli, wow, the view of mt. Kilimanjaro every morning was amaizing. Overall our guide made it all possible and shared a lot of interesting information about animals we sighted and about the country. Thank you Team Astute Africa safaris from reservation who made communication very easy and smooth to Moses our friendly guide.. We highly recommend them and maybe next time we shall add an extra night at maasai mara and amboseli
Warriors
March 31, 2026by: Luca Benning - NetherlandsProgram: Warriors Gap Year Experiences
Warriors is one of the best experiences of my life. I have done things I thought I would never do. If you are an adventurous person and love taking on a challenge, I recommend taking a quest at Warriors Academy. The location is incredibly beautiful, and every place you visit is even more beautiful than the last. The guides and everyone at Warriors are so kind and help you with everything needed. The things you learn and do here are things you can't just do anywhere; that is what makes it so incredibly special.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
March 31, 2026by: Jaime Oosthuizen - AustraliaProgram: Warriors Gap Year Experiences
Summer Quest at Warriors Academy was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had. The environment was welcoming from day one, and the instructors really took time to help everyone improve while still keeping things fun. I built confidence, made great friends, and learned a lot both on and off the court. The energy, structure, and support made it unforgettable. Definitely a 5-star experience I’d recommend to anyone looking to grow and enjoy the game.
Had the best time at warriors
March 31, 2026by: Ivar van Meerwijk - NetherlandsProgram: Warriors Gap Year Experiences
My experience at Warriors has been both challenging and rewarding. From the very beginning, I was welcomed into an environment that encouraged growth, discipline, and teamwork. The atmosphere was energetic, and every day brought a new opportunity to learn something valuable. Whether it was improving my skills, building confidence, or working with others, I constantly felt motivated to push myself further. One of the most memorable aspects of my time at Warriors was the strong sense of community. Everyone supported each other, and there was always a feeling that we were working toward a common goal. This made even the toughest moments easier to handle, as I knew I was not alone in my journey. There were also moments of difficulty, where I had to overcome challenges and step outside of my comfort zone. However, these experiences helped me grow stronger and more resilient. I learned the importance of perseverance and maintaining a positive mindset.
Amazing experience
March 31, 2026by: Daisy Simner - United StatesProgram: Warriors Gap Year Experiences
I have nothing but good reviews for this program. The instructors are amazing and they do a great job of pushing you out of your comfort zone while still making you feel supported. They genuinely care about your growth, not just physically but mentally as well. The environment can be challenging at times, but that’s what makes it so impactful. I’ve learned a lot about discipline, resilience, and myself overall. It’s also such a strong community, and the people really make the experience. I have grown so much this quest and I can’t wait for another.
Changed my live for the good
March 31, 2026by: Divan De klerk - South AfricaProgram: Warriors Gap Year Experiences
The self-mastery session really challenged me and helped me grow. Then we did a cycle safari, followed by a hike that led straight into an exciting rafting experience. An unforgettable gap year adventure.
It changes me
March 31, 2026by: Georgie Kyle - South AfricaProgram: Warriors Gap Year Experiences
Warriors academy gave me so much, it taught me so much about who i am as a person and more importantly it gave me so many experiences i would never imagine having and so many friends which are now more like family to me. The facilitators were amazing, they supported you when you needed it but also pushed you to be the best version of yourself. the warriors academy base camp is in the most beautiful area. getting to experience the beautiful Magoebaskloof forest was something i never thought i needed. Warriors is no longer just a place, it is now a home.
Gap Year of a Lifetime
March 31, 2026by: Chantal Smith - South AfricaProgram: Warriors Gap Year Experiences
Warriors Academy is an incredibly well structured program, filled with physical activity, travel, adventure, soft skills…all based on the foundation of self-mastery. I highly recommend attending Warriors Academy, for self-improvement, growth, and excitement!
Beyond the Safari: Cultural and Wildlife Experiences That Made Kenya Unforgettable
March 13, 2026by: Nia Moshari - CanadaProgram: Group & Student Travel | IMA Safaris Africa & South America
The cultural and wildlife experiences outside of the major safari components were exceptionally well organized and added tremendous depth to the overall program. Each activity felt thoughtfully selected and seamlessly integrated into the itinerary, enhancing cultural understanding, wildlife appreciation, and overall engagement. Walking with giraffes was a truly unforgettable experience. Observing these animals up close in a calm, respectful environment was both humbling and inspiring. The guides were highly knowledgeable and passionate about conservation, and their explanations added meaningful context that elevated the experience beyond observation. The wildlife interaction experience that included giraffe feeding and crocodile feeding was equally engaging and memorable. Learning about animal behaviour, conservation efforts, and ethical wildlife interaction while witnessing these moments firsthand made the experience both exciting and educational, with safety and professionalism clearly prioritized throughout. The first-day visits to Fort Jesus and the spice warehouse were an outstanding introduction to Kenya. Fort Jesus provided powerful historical context, and the guided tour brought the site’s significance to life in a way that was engaging and informative. The spice warehouse visit offered a vibrant, sensory introduction to local culture, trade, and daily life, creating an immediate sense of connection to the community. Transportation to and from each site was smooth and well coordinated, allowing the experience to feel effortless and well supported. Overall, these treks were immersive, enriching, and exceptionally well executed, and they played a major role in making the program feel thoughtful, well balanced, and truly memorable.
