Arrived at the Marriott Tbilisi Hotel... can't wait to see what this city has in store for us...

The Kasbah du Toubkal experience...

I call this an experience because it's so much more than a hotel stay...

This really feels like a true Moroccan experience...

I would really recommend this to anyone to add to their Moroccan itinerary... as long as you don't mind a little rustic and don't have mobility issues of course...

(Please note this experience was done by L&L in May 2023)

Firstly you drive far into the Atlas Mountains to what seems like the very last village... and you get dropped off at their little offices...

Then someone arrives with mules and starts loading them up with all your luggage! (Poor mules... haha)

Then we start the walk up, through the village, with mules and luggage in tow... all very much up hill I might add... important to keep in mind, but apparently there are mules to take guests up too for those who can't or prefer not to walk...

Once we arrive, it's further stairs up and down to finally get to our room, which didn't disappoint with amazing views all around.

The famous Mount Toubkal was not visible on arrival, but the next morning allowed for some views of the peak through the clouds...

This hotel/lodge is mostly used as a starting and end point for hikers going to summit Mt Toubkal... so there are always plenty of them around.

We were just there for the views and surroundings... this time! Haha...

The meals are traditional Moroccan style and really lovely, flavorsome and filling!

All your meals and drinks are included which is nice. But no alcohol is sold on the property. But you are allowed to bring your own...

Lunch is on the rooftop if weather permits, amd they even provide you with sunhats as there is shade. Haha.
Nice touch...

From there, you can do daily short hikes? Guided or non guided, and for all fitness levels. So that is a lovely thing to do too.

We walked to a close by waterfall... where there was a small Cafe setup, and the drinks were cooled by the water of the falls, very clever!

All in all a really lovely experience in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco!

A few more pics of The Oberoi... beautiful spa...

Wow... what a place...
The Oberoi Hotel in Marrakech...

Incredible, constructed from scratch, the lobby and square took 250 people 2 years to build... everything was done by hand. Quite something...

The hotel is set on the grounds of a farm, so its lovely to walk around and there is plenty of space.

All the rooms are villas with their own pools... and there is generally a peacefulness about the place...

One for the bucket list for sure!

Les Jardins de la Katoubia

A wonderful hotel right outside the old Town, Medina, so you can walk everywhere from there, which is really useful.

Once inside the hotel, you don't feel like you are so close to the hustle and bustle or Marrakech... so that is really nice.
Rooms are large and there are several dining options which is also lovely.

The rooftop Indian restaurant is fantastic, and there is a cool and vibe rooftop bar too.

A great option when in Marrakech if you like being able to walk everywhere and maybe do some shopping too...

Evening entertainment at The White Camel...

Evening at The White Camel Accacia - Sahara desert, Morocco

22/06/2023

The White Camel Accacia desert lodge... in Morocco, in the s
sahara desert, was worth the long drive to get there...

Only 5 rooms, all with stunning views of rhe dunes, great views of sunset and sunrise, this is a really lovely spot to spend a couple of nights...

Avoid summer months, as it will just be too hot, but outside then, it's a true gem of a place to visit.

Activities in the area include camel rides, quad biking, visiting fossil sites, meeting local musical tribes and more...

Also, just enjoying some peace and quiet away from it all...

We loved watching the sunrise and seeing how the colours and shadows change over the dunes...

If you have time, add this to your Morocco itinerary for sure!

Discovering Kasbah Tamadot - Richard Branson's Moroccan retreat... definitely worth adding to an itinerary in Morocco... (budget dependant). Kasbah Tamadot, Sir Richard Branson's Retreat

Everything was just top notch... from the perfectly ironed linen on the dining tables, to the nibble snacks in your room, from the lovely gardens to the service by all the staff... it's just somewhere you want to stay a while...

You drive through authentic villages and busy markets to get there, it's worth noting the road is very windy, and if there has been rain, you arrive at the gate on a muddy road, but then enter a haven you don't want to leave!

The food was the perfect mix of Moroccan and international, 90% of the staff are from the surrounding villages and so can tell you stories about the area and even where the produce you are eating comes from.

Definitely somewhere that impressed us.

There are lots of spaces to relax away from others or interact if you wish.

On arrival, a host walks you around and shows you where everything is, which is a really nice touch.

There is Moroccan flair everywhere... and you can even sit with a local and learn how to make Moroccan tea, all with herbs from their gardens...

Beautiful Riad Fes inside the old Medina... what a place...

Your porter meets you at your vehicle and walks you through the narrow streets of the Medina to the hotel, this arrival felt surreal, like we were being brought to a secret meeting in a secret location... haha.

But then you arrive and are blown away by the Riad, hidden gem within unsuspecting walls of the Medina buildings...

The hotel is made up of 5 Riads, and is the only swimming pool in the whole of the Fes Medina...

The Royal suite is one of a kind in Morocco, and the rooftop bar gives you an amazing overview of the Medina, whilst tasting their signature cocktails and listening to the mosques calls to prayer.

Even if you don't stay at this hotel, it's worth a visit for a drink on the rooftop or dinner in one of their restaurants...

A wonderful option when in Fes...

Quick visit to Casablanca for a few meetings... also the only time will see the ocean whilst in Morocco...

And first time for us to see a camel on a beach! Haha...

First stop... Jaal Riad Resort in Marrakech.

It certainly has wow fact when you arrive and it's the most unique lobby I have ever seen.

Greeted by a wonderful host with a big smile pouring us yummy Morocco tea and servicing local pastries, was really a nice touch.

A swim in their huge swimming pool provided just what we needed to cool off, after our long trip and arriving in 33 degrees heat from a cold Johannesburg.

Half day vineyard cycling tour by E-bike.

A wonderful tour to add to your stay in the Winelands or to any day trip.

Thank you Bikes 'n Wines for a wonderful outing.
The guide was fantastic and told us lots of facts we would never have known about vines and how wine is made..
We cycled through private farms, where you would never be allowed to access as general public...
The views and the wine tasting were the cherry on the top!

Using an e-bike just means that this activity is open to anyone, no matter your fear of "uphill" or whether you are fit enough...

A really great experience!

An incredible experience flying over the beautiful city of Cape Town!

Something everyone should put on their list next time they are in town... or for a first time visitor!

To see so many famous landmarks from the top was such a unique perspective... loved it!

There were so many wow moments... you feel like you are floating above the city like a bird...

Amazing!

Thank you Cape Town Helicopters
