Peaks and Valleys of Jebel Sirwa
By: Sue Sands, Sheffield, UK
It was not the trip I had intended to do I had opted for an easier trip to the Bougmez Valley. It looked as if it may not run so my husband persuaded me to try the Jebel Sirwa. I was very nervous about this trip and my capabilities. It was great and I felt a great sense of achievement. Wonderful experience would not of missed any of it even waking up in a blizzard. I thought it would be a much tougher trek. It was tough enough for me and some days I found the climbs realy challenging. It surprised and pleased me that I was able to do it with alot of encouragement from the guides and fellow trekers. Traveled with you last year for the first time and enjoyed the trip to Kerela. I also like the fact that I can call in to talk to a person in your office or on the phone or by email. Thankyou.

We really enjoyed this trek which felt remote yet could be reached so quickly from Marrakech.

The views of Morocco east of the Atlas were stunning. The food was very good indeed and the guide extremely good company.I have known about KE since it started - third time I've been with KE. KE are the only company offering the Jebel Sirwa trek.

The food created by our trek cook was outstanding. How he created such excellent food with limited facilities was amazing. Mustapha is an excellent guide. He was kind, considerate and encouraging. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He made the trip very enjoyable. I enjoyed this holiday because it was in a remote and spectacular part of Morrocco away from other trekking areas.

The ascent of Jebel Sirwa was really enjoyable. It was a pleasure to meet the Berber people again. The cold night and wet days at the end did not detract from the trek. Mustapha is a star and one of the best leaders I have met. I would be happy to travel with him again. The meals on this trek were among the best I have had on many treks. It was a surprise to have pancakes on Shrove Tuesday !

I have really enjoyed my first experience of a trekking holiday and would highly recommend KE Adventure Travel to anyone. I cannot recommend Mustapha, the trip leader, highly enough. His leading skills, sense of humour, patience and explanation each evening of the following day's trek were excellent. Also his Arabic/Berber teaching lessons along route were good!! The whole experience was great. I did enjoy moving through both open country and going through villages. Also enjoyed the splendid lunches, so well prepared by the cook, and taken leisurely.

A well paced short trek. Most enjoyed the varied scenic contrasts between arid and fertile landscapes

Cannot speak too highly of the guides. Most importantly, their pacing was slow and steady which avoided the group fragmenting as there were many walkers of different abilities.
They were incredible during the final summit scramble, working to make sure everyone who wanted to was able to get onto the peak.
Superb trip, in the process of booking a return Morocco trip...
Did not expect to enjoy the treks through the villages as much, they are a fascinating look at a culture a million miles away from our own.

Always good to talk directly with someone in the KE office with the experience needed. I felt that I had a great experience and look forward to my next trip. Hassan (the guide) was a good leader who encouraged some members of the group over odd 'bad patches' in a friendly positive manner
