At Nkhila one of the most popular activities is a camel trek along the river canyon below camp to Nkhila village.

On this scenic ride we descend from camp to the dry riverbed to the west, then walk along the riverbed passing beneath sandstone rock walls to reach an oasis of palm trees and Nkhila village. We return to camp following a different route. Look out for desert wildlife such as Agama lizards en route.

​

The camel, known as the ‘ship of the desert’ is a remarkable animal and provides us with a relaxing way to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Marrakech desert. Once you’ve found your balance and got used to the very rhythmic motion a camel makes it's great fun! You’ll enjoy a break in a little village. Here you can stretch your legs, sip hot tea and enjoy Berber hospitality. Discover the millennial mud walls and clever hammams still in use today and how the aridity of the land unravels into a rich tapestry of tastes, flavours and myriad shades of red as the light changes across the landscape.
