NomadicMorocco is a trading name of AZRU Ltd, a UK registered company, but our (virtual!) office is based in southern Morocco where we live.

We strive to offer high quality (mountain) adventure trips and give our clients something different from the bigger, international travel companies.  Sensitivity to the local environment and Berber culture is of the utmost importance to all of us. Compared to the larger travel companies we have a small committed client base - the result of this is that we know most of our clients on an individual level and so can offer a highly personalised service before, during and after a trip. We are a small independent provider and have years of combined experience in leading groups and individuals to some of the most remote and unspoilt areas in this fabulous mountain range.

We try and avoid paperwork as much as possible (a common aspiration we're sure!), and so we are entirely "internet based" in terms of marketing, trip information and so on.

Often we're not just "paperless" but "office-less" as well as we spend a good deal of time out of "civilisation" and up in the mountains working on trips and also developing some health and educational projects in remote Berber mountain villages through our charity AMANtrust.org  So please bear with us as we whilst we do reply to all our emails, it isn't always by return - no matter what satellite telephone or internet communications technology is at our disposal!

No glossy brochures but lots of information here on our site, on our blog and for the asking by email! Hopefully you're getting the picture........




The principal "NomadicMoroccan's" - Des & Nathalie Clark have been living for the past seven years in southern Morocco with their 3 children. Before that they were frequently coming and going from Ireland to Morocco leading trips for a number of years. They know & love this country well and are passionate about the High Atlas mountains. 

Des is an (Irish) professional International Mountain Leader (BAIML.org) as well as a Wilderness EMT. Outside of the Moroccan High Atlas, he has climbed and guided extensively in the Alps, Pyrenees, Iceland, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina.
A keen birdwatcher when he has time, he has enjoyed spotting the very rare and endangered Bald Ibis on the coast north of Agadir, as well as the resident Lammergeiers in the Toubkal & Mgoun massifs.

He has recently finished writing a guidebook to Mountaineering in the Moroccan High Atlas which will be on the shelves in February 2011. (ISBN-10: 1852846119)

 

 

Nathalie is a widely travelled & multi-lingual mother of 3. An experienced French & E.F.L. teacher, she especially enjoys the combination of wilderness travel & diverse ethnic cultures. When not running the show in the house, she spends a lot of her time developing health and educational projects through AMANtrust.org

All our friends & colleagues who work and partner with us either live here in Morocco or may as well do with the amount of time that they spend over here!

On many of our trips, you will meet our local friends such as Lahcen, Ali and Mohammed who guide, cook and run the show pretty much during your time in the mountains. These are great guys and our friends. You can rest assured you will be in more than just a safe pair of hands when you come over here.
