Ouzoud Falls Day Trip

Day trip to the Waterfalls of Ouzoud with Berber villages, Mint Tea & Barbary Apes

The prettiest waterfalls in Northern Africa can be found in the Grand Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt, about 150 km north-east of Marrakech. They are called the waterfalls of Ouzoud.

Journey to the Waterfalls of Ouzoud

Travelling exclusively by private vehicle with an English and French-speaking guide you’ll pass fields of olive trees on a scenic drive towards the waterfalls in Ouzoud. En route pause at the natural bridge of Imi Nifrid to enjoy Moroccan mint tea and beautiful views. There is lots of opportunity for taking photos, plus a visit to a traditional watermill, before enjoying a tasty Berber lunch near the waterfalls surrounded by lime, pomegranate and oak trees.

Easy Trails & Barbary Apes

After lunch you can choose to relax by the pools or stroll along the network of trails leading to the pools below the falls. If you are feeling adventurous an exciting walk explores underground passages close to the nearby Berber village. If you’re lucky a beautiful rainbow may appear at the bottom of the falls and the resident Barbary apes may make an appearance to drink from the river.

Ouzoud Falls Day Trip

For Atlas Trekking you need to prepare as you would for walking in any mountain region; it can be warm and sunny during the day but the weather in the mountains can quickly change from sunshine to snow and cold winds (autumn through late spring). Please do not leave any rubbish behind you; carry out what you carry in.

Atlas Treks are tailored to match the season and your level of fitness. You have the choice of basing yourself in Berber Guesthouses, from where you can take daily walks, or you can Atlas Mule Trek for 2+ days. On mule treks you usually have the choice of staying in Berber Guesthouse/with families or wild camping in 2-person tents. In addition to regular packing, here is a Check List for Atlas Trekking:
