Following the success of our tours to Morocco and now our 2009 spring safaris are almost fully booked, we are now concentrating on our 2010 spring safaris. If you would like to be kept informed, why not subscribe to our newsletter? The maximum number of participants will be limited to 12 and the minimum number required for these tours to proceed will be only 4 people. Our two most popular guides will accompany the groups. The tours will start from Marrakech and take-in the Atlas Mountains, Draa Valley and southern deserts. The 11 day and 10 night tours will include 1 night in a desert camp with good facilities, where a 4x4 oasis day trip will provide a mini-adventure within our birding safari. The tours are designed to be relaxed and do not include early mornings and late nights!! Both the routes and sites have been carefully selected to give maximum opportunities for observing the ‘special’ birds of this region of Morocco.

The guides have personally chosen very good standards of accommodation for these tours. In addition, with civilised hours and by restricting the number of kilometres travelled in any one day, we feel these spring tours offer the very best in enjoyment and relaxation. Of course, with the experience of our 2 guides, then nothing is sacrificed in terms of quality and quantity of bird species! Our guides have also requested us to mention, that no long distance walking will be involved within these tours!! Included in the price of the tour is all accommodation, food, free transport (including airport transfers in Marrakech) and guides.

Direct flights to Marrakech from the UK. The price for flights is not included in the tour price. Prospective travellers are requested to check www.easyjet.com flying from London Gatwick or www.ryanair.com flying from Luton.

All guests have regular options, either join-in with group birding or opt-out and enjoy your own company. You, the client, have choices unlike with so many other group tours!

What past customers have said about our Moroccan Tours:

We both had a great time with you Peter and Pieter, a really great time, and we'd love to return to Morocco soon. L&G Spain

Many thanks to both you Peter and to Pieter for your splendid and tireless efforts to make a splendid and memorable holiday for both of us. P&S UK

My final count for "lifers" on the Moroccan trip was 6: Courser, Crowned & Spotted s.g. (I'd had unsatisfactory views before),Desert Sparrow, Tristrams Warbler and Baillons Crake - an absolute bonus and total surprise. This was a very profitable trip for birds. M UK

Many thanks for making the trip so enjoyable. Giving us choices was good as it meant we could catch up with ourselves. I keep telling friends that seeing such a variety of desert was so different from what we had expected as well as the wonderful colours and changing scenery made it something special, all in addition to the range of birds!! J&D UK

I had one of the best holidays ever thanks to you Peter and Pieter. J Spain

Is comfort, relaxation and scenery as important to you as the birds? Is having options to spend time on your own and away from a group important to you? If yes, then these tours with Spanish Nature are for you! We had a great time, thanks. P&I Spain
