Toubkal Mountain Adventure

Mount Toubkal (4167m) is the highest mountain in North Africa, a fantastic introductory mountain trek. We will spend time acclimatising in the Imlil valley, nestled in the High Atlas mountains and is known for its terraced fields and small Berber villages. We will have the opportunity to play football with one of the local school teams and experience life in the mountains. We finish in the vibrant city of Marrakech with time to explore.

To trek up Mount Toubkal is a wonderful experience.  In the summer months, it is a non-technical climb with three distinct stages, ending in the climb to the summit with amazing views from the top.  It is a phenomenal mountain and one of my absolute favourites.

At a Glance

Mount Toubkal (4167m) is the highest mountain in North Africa, in the heart of the High Atlas Mountains.  The team will be fully supported by a UK Mountain Leader and local specialist guides, as well as a team of mules!

We begin our journey approximately 60 km south of Marrakech, venturing into the heart of the High Atlas Mountains. After an acclimatisation trek, and an afternoon of playing football with the locals, we’ll make our way through the stunning Toubkal Valley, passing terraced farmlands and traditional Berber villages as we head toward Toubkal Base Camp, situated at 3,200 meters above sea level.

Summit day starts early, with a quick breakfast to fuel up before we push for the peak, arriving just after sunrise. At the summit of this majestic mountain, you'll be rewarded with panoramic views in every direction, including the vast Sahara stretching out to the south.

On our final day, there will be time to explore the vibrant city of Marrakech, including its famous souks. While this isn’t a winter expedition, temperatures at the summit will still be quite cold. Although Toubkal is a non-technical climb, a good level of fitness is required, as you'll be trekking for 7 to 9 hours each day.

This is what you will need to pay for/ buy/source yourself.

  • Personal equipment and clothing on the kit list;
  • Tipping for local guides and drivers;

  • Alcoholic drinks.
  • Visas (where applicable)

It is important that you read the itinerary carefully, and take account of the rating we have given it.  

Although our challenges are not technical, they do require a good degree of physical fitness. The conditions will require stamina and strength, which you should recognise and train for. This will be a much better experience if you are fit and prepared. You should feel comfortable walking 6-8 hours per day.

In setting the maximum size of our groups, we take a number of factors into account.

Altitude, degree of difficulty, the terrain, the climate and time of year, all determine the maximum group size.  Sometimes it will be 20, sometimes it will be 8-14, but safety is always our priority.

The minimum number to participate is 2. You will be accompanied by a Tribal Tracks UK Leader, Mountain Leader qualified, as well as supported by our local, in-country guides.

It is a requirement of Tribal Tracks booking terms and conditions that each supporter must hold their own travel insurance which covers the trip and the activities they are doing.

We advise you to put insurance in place as soon as possible. Your insurance must be valid and in date, covering the entire period that you are travelling for, including the return journey home.  It should cover medical and personal accident risks, and should include repatriation costs and air ambulance or helicopter rescue services, where appropriate. We are happy to help you if you have any queries about this or have any difficulties. 

Tribal Tracks has 100% Financial Protection and has a trust account with the Protected Trust Service, member number 5566.

This means that all client monies paid to Tribal Tracks are held in our dedicated trust account, which is supervised by an independent trustee. This means that in the very unlikely event that Tribal Tracks ceases to trade, your money is safe. For more information, please visit this link. Any flights booked for you by Tribal Tracks will be ATOL protected under our own ATOL certificate.

Tribal Tracks considers the safety of all of its participants and staff to be a top priority, and as such we have thorough safety systems in place.

In the event of an injury, we have an evacuation plan in place for all elements of the trek route. We do ask that you look after yourself during the trek in the following way, as this will help avoid unnecessary problems:

  1. Trekking is a major challenge so make sure that you are well hydrated throughout.  You will be provided with plenty of water so please ensure that you fill up your water bottles with at least 2 litres at breakfast and again after lunch.
  2. Don't let a hot spot become a blister! The moment you feel any rubbing, stop and apply some zinc tape.  This will ensure that the tape gets rubbed, not your foot.  If you don't do this, you will get a blister.  While blister plasters are good, it is better not to have a blister in the first place.  Please also tell the Tribal Tracks leader as they are very good with feet and can help you!
  3. Hygiene. It is very important to wash your hands before eating and after going to the bathroom.  If you can't wash your hands, apply lots of anti-bacterial gel.  The 'gold standard' is hand washing, followed by gel.
  4. Communication.  If you are not feeling well, or have any sort of issue, please tell the Tribal Tracks leader.  They are there to help and are very discreet.

We know that the unexpected can happen.

While you are away, things can happen at home and people may need to get in contact with you.  This can be tricky when you are in remote areas.  So, shortly before departure, we provide you with an Emergency Procedure document to distribute to your nearest and dearest.  This sets out how to contact Tribal Tracks and the steps Tribal Tracks will then take to get in contact with you.

It is really important that you are well prepared for your physical challenge and that you are confident that you will be able to fully participate.

Although our leaders are well trained to deal with different capabilities, if they have any concerns about someone’s ability to safely partake in the trek, or their impact on other people’s enjoyment, we authorise them to take necessary action which, in some circumstances, may involve asking someone to step out of the trek. Although this is a very rare occurrence, by booking this trip you agree to section 11 of our Booking Conditions which clearly states that our leaders have the authority to do this. In these circumstances, we will ensure anyone sitting out is safely provided for and offered alternative options where possible. Refunds will not be provided for activities missed and customers may be liable for additional costs incurred.

At Tribal Tracks, Responsible Travel is enormously important to us, and our commitment to responsible travel is evidenced in every itinerary that we prepare.

Core to our business is the belief that holidays can and should be enjoyable to the traveller but should be conducted in a socially, environmentally and economically responsible manner which brings benefit to local communities. This is implemented through a variety of measures which can be found in our Responsible Travel policy - http://www.tribaltracks.co.uk/responsible-travel-policy. We encourage you to read this and to play your own part in travelling responsibly.
