We couldn’t have been happier with our trip from start to finish! We had flights booked but were getting stuck trying to decide where to go and what to see so about one week prior to departure I investigated KimKim and was immediately impressed with the service we received from their in-country travel professionals.
Ali did a fantastic job putting a credible itinerary into place, and Said nailed it down promptly so we knew exactly what to expect once we arrived.
I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience we had with our driver Oussama, throughout the trip. We always knew we were in safe hands throughout our journey, thanks to his warm, friendly, flexible yet very professional attitude. By the end of our 10 day trip, we considered him to be a loyal friend and were so appreciative of his combined efforts to make sure our trip was a very satisfying adventure!

Hotel Reviews
Dar Rihana Dades
Douar Aït Ouffi

We were super impressed with the overall hospitality offered by the amazing three-brother team at Dar Rihana. Guests are welcomed with a delightful homemade orange/ginger/honey tissane that is one for the books ; accompanied by delicate home baked almond biscuits. The youngest brother is a talented chef so every meal is a sheer delight. Decor is modern and inviting. The views are spectacular and the surroundings peaceful. The brothers make every effort to assure guests are satisfied on so many levels. We were super impressed by our stay at Dar Rihana!

Authenticity & Character
Modern, yet authentic Moroccan decor.
Location
Nestled along the towering hills of the Dades Valley, so quiet and peaceful, with amazing views and easy to explore the whole area, right out the back door!
Staff
Abdealatif was a wonderfully kind and attentive host. The entire staff here were just great.
Cleanliness & Comfort
We stayed in a brand new section of the hotel so everything was pristine! Beautiful rugs, lovely linens, nice tableware, cozy outdoor seating areas on the terrasse.
Ksar Anika
Marrakech

The Ksar Anika is in a wonderful location inside the Medina, close to the Bahia Palace in Marrakech. It was truly a calming sanctuary in stark opposition to the craziness of busy city life outside.

Authenticity & Character
We adored the beautiful marble and intricate tile work as well as the tasteful and relaxing lobby furniture in the pool area and the wonderful huge chandelier that hangs in the center of the open garden zone.
Location
Very centrally located in the Medina.
Staff
Very attentive and accommodating. They even packed a free lunch for us, knowing that we were headed back to Casablanca to catch a plane. So very thoughtful overall.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Tasteful decor and clean and tidy. We loved the sounds of birdsong as you step outside your room. So peaceful and light and open.

Morocco

This trek was one of the highlights of our trip, thanks to our friendly and knowledgeable guide Ismail. The sun shone brightly over this idyllic landscape. We felt like we were in paradise as we crossed babbling brooks and over bouldered paths. You’d never want to be out there without the guidance of a local guide familiar with the terrain! The lunch that we enjoyed, prepared by Ismail’s mother Toda (sp?) was both hearty and delicious. It’s so commendable how throughout the country, the locals were happy to cook for us and yet refrain from partaking in any of the food due to their fasting commitment during daylight hours as they observed Ramadan. This was a really delightful time that both my son and I really enjoyed. The renown Berber hospitality was second to none!!

Quality of Experience
The beautiful location and the kind hospitality made this a day to cherish.
Food
Delicious food with wonderful hosts!
Guides, Drivers and Staff
Ismail is a happy soul whose love for his village and surrounding area radiates through him. Communication between him and our trustworthy driver Oussama were always flawless so we were never left waiting as he seemingly magically appeared to shuttle us off to the next wonderful vista.
Transport
Oussama was predictably reliable and flawless!
