An excellent holiday with some great walks in the Sierra de Aitana. All the accomodation was very comfortable and food was also excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
Some fantastic ridge top walks wit incredible views across to the Mediterranean
The guide was local to area and very knowledgeable about the environment we were walking in. He was celarly enthusiastic and passionate about the area.
The walking days are fairly long (7- 8 hours) so make sure you are fit enough.
Fabulous laidback trip, great scenery and coastline, varied walking with plenty of swimming opportunities – and fantastic food!!
Climbing up to the Roman Imperial marble quarries to see 10m marble columns, completed and 'ready for shipping' scattered about the hillside. Views out over the harbour, Med sparkling in sunshine. Sitting on our hotel balcony sipping coffee at sunset, watching the little fishing boats chugging in and out of harbour
Thanos was a warm and friendly group leader, full of stories about Evia, both recent and ancient, bringing Greek mythology to life, and giving us a sense of how long the island has been inhabited, and the different peoples who have lived there
Food is fabulous, don't expect to lose any weight!!
What a unique fusion of culture, cycling and great company!-This holiday had everything that can be fitted into two very full weeks. A classic experience.
What inspired me most was the sheer resourcefulness and drive of the less-affluent locals, who seemed very much in harmony with their surroundings.
Wassan oversaw the holiday in an apparently seamless manner, always at hand if necessary. His knowledge of the locals proven invaluable in securing a great holiday.
Arrive with an open mindLaundry can be done on route.Don’t be put off with the amount of cycling-its paced with plenty of breaks-and there are contingencies.
Very enjoyable but summit trek was tough. Relieved to get to the top.
Standing on the summit definitely, with the rest of the group.
Joseph was excellent. Young but very confident and dealt with everything in a calm and efficient manner.
Don't be fooled by the fairly easy going first 6 days. The climb up to the summit is hard work because of the cold, lack of sleep the evening before and altitude. But you will get there eventually. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other!
A nice mix of city and country with minimal time on a bus. The walking is at a relaxed pace on uneven ground. There are a few hills and some small streams to cross using stepping stones.
Looking down on the rock coloured villages with their green fields and trees between barren looking hills. Seeing the goatherds sitting out alone in those hills watching their flocks. In the city the Medersa is a must see if you have any liking for Islamic architecture. The souk is calm as souks go, the light streaming in strips through the roof onto the colours of the stalls was beautiful.
Clearly an experienced group leader, organised but relaxed. He understands the English well and has a very English turn of phrase.He judged the weather well and adjusted the order of the walks so that we went on the longer walk to the lake on a sunny day and then had a short morning walk and did the visit to the local kasbah owners for tea when it was wet and blustery.He kept a very steady walking pace on all days. He provided information on the local plants and rocks if people were interested.
This trip is the easiest walking trip in Morrocco. For a healthy active person it will be relaxing outdoor holiday. However parts would be challenging if you are not sure of your balance on uneven terrain as the ground can be slippy due to the makeup of the rocks and soil, there are stepping stones to cross streams and there is one fairly short but narrow ledge to walk along.Weather wise we were lucky. The advice to bring clothes for all types of weather at the end of October is valid. The torch is for the longest walk - just in case your group does not get back before dark. Their days get shorter too.
Please be assured that it is very rare for two groups to take part in the same walk on the same day. Due to unpredictable weather during this particular departure, a walk had to be changed for one of the groups and although they tried to do the walk in reverse, there were sections where both groups were walking together.
Exodus will make every effort in future to avoid a similar situation in the future.
The trip was totally amazing – I enjoyed every moment. Although, I have never done either camping or canoeing, I really loved both.
Every moment was inspirational. :)
TK was a fantastic and extremely knowledgeable guide. Both him and Oscar took very good care of us. We felt safe, relaxed and our tummies were constantly full.
Try to avoid Nairobi airport so if you can, fly BA. If not, you can kill time at the Java café, this is the only place which will help you survive the waiting time. If you fly through Nairobi, be also very careful not to miss your flight to Lusaka. When we were there, no announcements were made that the boarding started. The things I found most useful were gloves, head torch and mosquito bands.You really do not need to take or buy any snacks, there is no chance to get hungry.
I was going to give this trip 4 stars but to be honest I couldn’t think of any reason why it doesn’t deserve 5 stars as it was an amazing holiday.
This was my first holiday of this type and it really was ace, I was lucky enough to be there with 7 other guests that were pretty awesome, we all got on pretty well and had a bit of friendly banter between us all.
I basiically put this down as a holiday of a lifetime and I will be doing more exodus trips based on how much fun I had on this one.
On day 2 we had a 26 kilometer climb followed by a 30 kilometer decent, tbh I was a bit worried about the climb as I had never done anything like that before, I didn't need to be worried, the way I felt standing next to the tizi n test pass sign is unexplainable, a true highlight of my life so far, and the realization that I am cabable of that was off the chart. This is just one inspirational moment, there were lots. :)
Our group leader, Ritchie was ace, he loves cycling and bikes so this wasn't just a job to him, he was very passionate about cycling, would spend his lunch breaks doing running repairs to keep the bikes in ship shape condition. He was also very good at inspiring you to get the best out of yourself, if you were happy taking in the scenery, he would leave you to it but if you like to push yourself out of your comfort zone and work on your technique and fitness he would see this and give you endless hints and tips and get you to challenge yourself. he even had a few of us having a little drafting race with each other that left us all buzzing like never before :) I would also like to add that we met the atlas decent leader Liz one night and her enthusiasm matched Ritchie's, it is very clear these guys just love what they do.
I would say just do it. I took my own shoes and pedals but don't feel this is necessary, it was my personal preference but plenty of people did it with trainers just the same. There's not to much I can say about the required fitness for the trip, it is a cycling holiday after all but peice of mind can be had with the knowledge that you can sit in a backup vehicle any time, but, and this is a big but, the fitter you are then you are more likely to get to the checkpoint first which gives you the first choice of the ace Moroccan chocolate bars.
The 6 day trip culminating in ascending Kilimanjaro was the best thing i ve ever done in my life-the very hardest but the most special.The team looking after us just could not have been more generous in their time energy and spirit.They were proud of their country and wanted us to have the best time we possibly could- and we did!
To be walking and constantly be shadowed by Kilimanjaro was exciting and nerve wracking.The whole group knew we were gearing up to the summit night but we all enjoyed every day leading upto that time.Walking slowly all day and coming into camp-the smell of deliciuos food and the thought of a cosy tent was a great feeling.I was inspired by the team looking after us- The African Walking co -the leaders were heavenly-caring for us all and helping in every way posssible to get us nearer to our goalThe whole trip was inspirational-all our individual efforts to overcome challenges-be they sickness,fatigue,worry or doubt-all the efforts from the team behind us-the wonderful scenery and amazing lanscapes.100% inspiring!!!!
Henry Fernandez was a legend!!! A kind gentle responsible caring chap-who we learnt had trained to be a Priest-the church s loss was our gain!!!he headed a team of wonderful leaders-Davis-the most gorgeous kind funny and thoughtful man that I could have walked for days with,Jonath-dear and kind.John-interested and interesting considerate and gentle.Obote-my hero-without whom I would not have made it up that darn mountain!!!!-and many more-caspar and Trophid the chef-but really the whole team-from the all important toilet monitor-who carried it and serviced it the whole trip!-to ALL the cheery hardworking porters.What did I think of them all??? I LOVED THEM!!!!
Really dont fret or worry beforhand.As long as you are fairly fit and well you will be fine-unless altitude sickness picks you off-and that just random.A lot of the achieving is down to attitude-and there are times you must dig deep but its all possible.camping is a challenge-be organised-take as little as possible-you will wear pretty much the same every day! Wet wipes -always useful.Favourite snack and sweets -and I took Marmite-that got me through!!!Dont fixate on THE SUMMIT-enjoy EVERY bit of the trip-it flies by and you probably wont repeat the trip-so enjoy every day.Appreciate all the effort that is being made for you-and shoe that gratefulness to the team.Good boots,warm layers and positive mental attitude-thats all you need!!
The Atlas Descent is a beaut of a trip. Six biking days and all quite varied. Camel roads, gorges, mountaintop trails, moonscapes, I was amazed at the variation. The mountainbiking is as varied as the scenery from tough offroad singletrack, fast flowing landrover trails to swooping tarmac. Loved it.
The uphills were hard and demanding however they were instantly forgotten in mile after mile of adrenaline rushing downhill on every concievable variation of so-called-road surface..Dropping into the surf at the end was such a blast.The Atlas Mountains are surely one of the best kept secrets of North Africa, jaw dropping scenery.
Liz was a treat. Patient and positive with time for everybody. Her fluent franglais should become a degree course :o)
Take double sided pedals, flat on one side SPD on the other. It's not all downhill, and cleats make a difference.Do as much off-road practice as you can on broken surfaces.
The weather was wonderful (especially considering it was the first week of November),and the scenery spectacular. The walks were well described in the trip notes and were at the level we were expecting (leisurely/moderate). Our guide, Christine, was knowledgable and made sure the week ran very smoothly. The hotel was a very good standard and food was plentiful. All in all a wonderful week and would definately recommend this trip.
I really enjoyed the trips to Pomeii and Herculanium and found these places very moving. I would definately recommend having a guide on these sites so that you can look and listen rather than having to jump aroung a guide book and map (which they had run out of). The weather was excellent for walking, needing a fleece only when starting out. Seeing the rugged coastline was spectacular.
Christine was very efficient, knowledgable and helpful, just as we have come to expect of Exodus guides, thank you for making it such a wonderful time.
The thousand(s) of steps down to Amalfi and Positano do take it out on your knees, so poles are very useful.
