Some tips for adventurers

You have chosen to go with "Voyage d'aventure" and we thank you for the trust you give us. Before closing your luggage, read these few lines please.

Our vehicles
You are going to send onboard our vehicles. Depending on the formula chosen, you will be 2, 3 or 4 on board. Our vehicles are Toyota 4x4 fully equipped for hiking Saharan completely independently. They are led by experienced guides who have a long experience of driving on the track and off the track in the desert and in the mountains.

Equipment
Baggage principal: a soft travel bag, or backpack because it's easy to load into vehicles or pack animals (bags are to be avoided).

Conseils
Hand Baggage: a small backpack walking is essential to accommodate all your personal affairs: gourd, camera, and so on.

Sleeping
(We provide mattresses for the night but never sleeping bag)
In winter, from late November to late February, the nights are cold: in the range of 5 degrees and sometimes below 0 °. You will have a good duvet.

Shoes
For hiking, take shoes that are already made at your feet. Rôdez them before departure if they are new (bulbs at the beginning of the trip!). Choose shoes "bush" or mid-mountain hiking, but thick flexible soles and uppers rising, canvas or Goretex. Remember to take another pair to relax at the bivouac, "jogging" or sneakers or open shoes, which are more pleasant summer with temperature. Prefer socks wool or cotton, not synthetic fabrics.

Clothes
(Warning, you are going to travel in Muslim lands. We ask that you in all cases to dress well)
The Cotton is strongly recommended, the synthetic is less comfortable to wear because of the heat.
Pull and doudoune: from 1 November until March, you need a good doudoune. It may be replaced by a big pull coupled with a K-way or fur polar wind breakers. In April and October, a good enough pull, but the K-way is sometimes necessary as a windbreak.
Pants: take pants of cotton canvas or large, lightweight, comfortable and passe-partout. For hiking, you can take a short or preferably a bermuda. Anyway, the short door is that the days when no event is foreseeable.
Shirts / T-shirts: 2 or preferably 3 shirts with long sleeves to avoid sunburn. No synthetic, cotton only. The tee-shirt is also recommended, except for sunburn.
Survêtement: bivouac for a tracksuit sport is useful in the middle of winter (especially at night when it is very cold, sleep while dressed).
The chèche: it is a piece of cotton fabric (approximately 5 m long) that cover the desert nomads. You can find locally. It is useful as a scarf, as head covering, and it protects from wind and sand. Failing that, take whatever you want to cover you. The US cap visor is very widespread practice, but shows a little in the landscape in our view ...

Other (not to forget)

For all circuits in a 4x4 in Morocco:

  • A towel
  • A headlamp (more practice at the bivouac), or a flashlight with batteries and spare bulb
  • Your sleeping bag

For Saharan circuits or treks:

  • A 2-litre bottle, a quarter or a bowl to drink
  • A survival blanket, a practice where moisture
  • Plastic bags to protect your clothing sand
  • A knife (or Opinel knife)
  • Toilet paper and lighter (to burn paper after use)
  • For the toilet, when water is scarce, are very useful calinettes

Health
No mandatory immunization for Morocco. Vaccinations conventional advice:

Pharmacy

Conseils
Are you a pharmacy personal with your usual medications to which you add painkillers, eye for eye, cream of protection for the lips and skin, vitamin C, Biafine for sunburn, Percutalgine gel for aches, necessary caring for the feet (Tricostéril, Mercurochrome, etc..), and antidiarréico intestinal antiseptic. Do not medicines in order to give people on the spot.

Security: In the event of illness or injury in the Sahara, no one is obliged to do the impossible. No radio, no helicopter. There you are, accompanist and local guides. So no imprudence.
The bar:

The spirit of the journey
Generally, the unexpected (delay of aircraft, vehicle breakdown, bad weather conditions) are always possible. In these difficult times, your guide will do its utmost to mitigate the effects of these events are beyond our control: modifying the route for example, and so on. The success of any trip is a delicate blend of good humor and friendliness and a spirit of discovery, of goodwill, a common task and respect local traditions.

Being independent now, in this word, everything has been said.
