Sun Trails

Sun Trails plans private Morocco tours from its office in Marrakech. The company says it has been crafting tours and local experiences since 2009. It says it does not work from offices in London or New York. Instead, its team travels Morocco in a 4x4 every few months to test places and routes before guests go.

Tours made to measure

The itineraries on offer run from 5 to 14 days. The company calls them starting points and says each one is tailored to the traveler. Its Divine range is for guests who want to travel in style.

What the trips can include

• A private four seat plane flight over the snowy High Atlas peaks, landing near the Sahara dunes.
• A night in a private luxury Bedouin tent in the desert.
• A glamping stay in the remote dunes of Chigaga.
• A visit to a women's weaving cooperative in Djebel Bani.
• Tea with nomads on the Anti-Atlas plateaus.
• A tour of Marrakech art galleries with a local gallery owner.
• Baking, trekking and market visits with local people.

Small plane to the desert

The company writes about a private flight from Marrakech to the Sahara in a small plane, followed by a 4x4 transfer to a luxury camp. It is a quick way to reach the dunes if you are in Marrakech for only a few days.

The team and the stays

The company introduces its team by first name, including guides and drivers. It says places to stay shape each trip, whether they are grand or simply original. Its blog features a boutique hotel of the month, such as Dar Ahlam and Riad Laaroussa in Fes.

Reviews

The company points guests to hundreds of reviews on TripAdvisor, Google and Facebook. Guests praise drivers who answered questions and changed plans to suit them.

It also says travel with it helps village communities keep their way of life.
