What you can expect to see and do: 

Our Morocco Madness retreat will take you across three cities and you’ll come to truly feel the difference between a traveler and a foreigner. Forget the ‘chi chi frou frou’ instagrammable, romanticized Morocco everyone longs for. We want you to connect with our traditional North African culture. Yes there will be breathtaking Riyads, luxurious palaces and Souqs (market places) but what makes Morocco so unique is the warmth of its people and the blend of African, Arab and Berber heritage.  Morocco Madness will be a unique 9 day road trip across 3 cities. Land in Fes (4 nights) then Chefchawen (1 night) and finish off in Casablanca for a night. If you dig a genuine experience; bring a book, a pillow or lover, a friend, podcasts, a set of dominoes and your sense of adventure.
