Morocco adventure & activity tours organised by Nomadic Expeditions.

Responsible travel

Nomadic Expeditions is committed to acting responsibly in our position as an adventure holiday operator.

This involves taking care on tour, promoting carbon friendly travel and supporting the country in which we operate, majestic Morocco.



Ait Ouham Association for Development
We are proud to be working with the Ait Ouhem Association for Development, a local, grass roots organisation in the Atlas Mountains. For every tour booked with Nomadic Expeditions, we donate £5 to help the Association achieve its goals of:

• Building a dispensary in the village to provide people with at least first aid emergency medical supplies...
  
  

• To provide houses with tap water...
  
  
• Encouraging students of the village to continue their studies through buying necessary materials such as bags, copybooks, books, pens…
  
  
• To plant different trees in the mountains all around the village to stop or at least limit erosion...
  
  
• Creating a textile cooperative for women so that they can earn a living that is other wise not available to them..

As you can see from its goals the association seeks to improve education in the village over the longer term whilst tackling the immediate problems in the High Atlas village of Ait Ouham. These include deforestation (which leads to landslides and flash floods), lack of treated water to all homes in the village and lack of accessible pharmacy and hospital facilities (the nearest hospital is 70 kms away!!).

On tour
We make every step we can to minimise our impact on Morocco as a UK based adventure holiday operator. We achieve this in a number of ways:

• We work with local operators to ensure Moroccan people directly benefit.
• Our local payment ensures that part of the tour price is paid directly to the local economy.
• We always try to leave everything as we find it, i.e. camps, parks, hotels etc.
• We use re-useable truck-shopping bags, not plastic ones.
• We prohibit rubbish being thrown out of tour vehicles.
• We carry a lot of purified water on our Overland tour to avoid having to use bottled water.
