Back to Nature in Morocco's Great Outdoors
Dar Tassa resides in the shadow of the Takherkhort Reserve,
a sanctuary for Toubkal's most noble species, the Barbary
Sheep. The Amaseen gazelle reserve, a must see in neighboring
Marigha, promises this regal endangered species will have
fighting chance to restore its declining population. Be sure
to bring your binoculars, as over 50 species of bird - from
the Grey Partridge to the Alpine Accentor and Chough - make
their nest among the Park's natural wonders. And if you should
decide to set out on a flora and fauna discovery trek, don't
be startled to find reptiles underfoot that recall ancient
fossils come to life. |

TREK
SALAMA
With miles of well maintained mule tracks, thematic trekking
itineraries of varied duration, and certified, multi-lingual
mountain guides and mules available, you are certain to have
a trek salama (safe and peaceful journey) wherever your excursion
takes you within Toubkal National Park. Set out from Tassa
Ouirgane over the pass to Imlil (possible in one day or with
an overnight break halfway at a gite in Tizi Oussem). From
there, you can stage your ascent of North Africa's highest
peak, Jbel Toubkal at 4120 m, in just another two days. Or
custom craft your own trek based on your personal interests.
For alpinists and outdoor enthusiasts interested in walking,
cycling/mountain biking, climbing and trekking, the sky is
truly the limit. Unless, of course, you bring your own hot
air balloon!
