I am the director of Wanderlust Voyages and the primary point of contact for travelers. I view travel as a way to expand your world view, learning about different cultures and immersing yourself in the local experience. I'm not a fan of traveling halfway around the world (or even just across the nearest border) just to stay in familiar hotels, eat familiar food, and try to go about the cities/towns the way you would at home. Travel is about enjoying new destinations and experiences to their fullest, which means visiting local restaurants, unique accommodations, and, when possible, talking to local residents.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"All of Morocco. From Tangier to the Sahara to Marrakech, and everything in between. Whether you are looking for luxury, adventure, history, or any combination thereof, we can put together the perfect itinerary for you. "

How did you get involved in travel?

"I am a lawyer-turned-travel-expert, a journey that began with my first trip to the Sahara Desert. I was so enchanted with Morocco, and the desert region in particular, that I wanted to share it with everyone. This started the conversation with my husband, Belghit (who was born in nearby Rissani), about how we could accomplish bringing friends, family, anyone and everyone to explore the wonders of Morocco. Since then, I dove headfirst into the travel business, expanding my knowledge of both the industry and Morocco. I've already been there more times than I can count, and each time I go, I visit more accommodations, try out new activities, and seek to increase my knowledge of the country, from the ever-changing popular cities like Fes and Marrakech to the more obscure off-the-beaten-path areas like Oujda and Taroudant."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Oh, so many... From transportation adventures to interactions with wild animals to weather failing to cooperate, there are always things that can make travel a unique experience. However, one of the most eye-opening and unique experiences was part of that first trip to the Sahara. I went to visit the home where Belghit grew up. It was a mud-brick house part of an ancient ksar that dates back to the 1700s. Making our way through the winding path inside, cool in the dark away from the bright sun, passing by old mule stalls, a well that once served as their primary source of water, and climbing up the winding steps to bare mud rooms, each opening into a central courtyard. The kitchen still contained a daubed mud oven for baking bread and no running water. It looked like something that you would expect to be from centuries past, not a mere two decades. And yet, that's how Belghit grew up, running down the road to his family's date farm. It was an incredible experience, very eye-opening, and one I will never forget."

Our driver Abdelkarim (Karim) was amazing, he was very knowledgeable and an incredibly safe driver. He did a great job coordinating our day-to-day activities and making sure things ran smoothly. The country of Morocco was truly beautiful and the activities we went to were very fun. We were upset that without us being made aware of it until the day of, our sandboarding activity, which we paid for (and hopefully we can get refunded for this), became impossible due when they scheduled the activity. This was especially annoying considering we were given 5hrs of free time the previous day when we could have done the activity.
What disappointed us the most were the lodgings booked by the KimKim team. With hindsight never have I been more happy that the major hotels we booked ourselves as the ones booked by the KimKim team were dirty, one had roaches, the other lacked a hot water shower. These hotels were quite rundown and did not meet the standards which we felt had been conveyed to us. The "luxury" camp which KimKim had told us had AC did not, and the food served was inedible.
Also the driver we had, as much as we loved him, was not who KimKim had told us would be our driver. This left us very confused and initially nervous since we were unable to contact our driver directly and it simply wasn't who we were told our driver would be.
To summarize, we enjoyed our trip overall and were mostly happy with KimKim's efforts, but in the future we probably will not use KimKim again due to the quality of the hotel bookings not being worth the premium we paid KimKim to book them.

Hotel Reviews
Kasbah Mohayut
Merzouga

Disgusting hotel, roaches outside our room, horrible food, dirty and unclean rooms. There is no internet for guests either. The bed was the worst bed I have ever slept on in my life. The bed and pillows were so awful that my fiancé and I slept on our clothes to make it softer and used our sweatshirts as pillows since the hotels were as hard as cement. Maye this hotel used to be good, but now it should be avoided.

Luxury is a stretch. The camel ride out to the camp went great, until the driver tried to force us to buy knick-knacks. The staff was very kind which was a positive. The food was inedible and dinner was a struggle, especially as they did not understand gluten-free meaning my fiancé could not eat most of the dinner. the tent was black which made it incredibly hot, which would've been nice if the A/C worked...

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback—we truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience.

I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed your driver; they play such an essential role in the journey, and it's wonderful to know their presence made a positive impact.

I'm sorry to hear that the accommodations did not meet your expectations. We haven’t received similar feedback about these properties before, so your input is especially valuable. As we can’t personally revisit every place on a regular basis, thoughtful feedback like yours helps us reassess and ensure our recommendations remain aligned with our standards.

Regarding the longer drives, we do our best to prepare travelers in advance, as distances in Morocco—especially outside the cities—can be quite vast. I’m sorry if the reality felt more taxing than expected.

As for the sandboarding, I’m disappointed to hear it didn’t work out. I’ll be following up with our team to understand what happened. We always encourage guests to reach out during the trip if something isn’t right, as we’re often able to make adjustments in real time.

I’m also sorry to hear that the drivers for the paragliding made you feel uneasy. While they’re highly experienced and know the terrain well, I understand how rural driving in Morocco can feel very different from what you may be accustomed to.

Overall, I’m glad you enjoyed your time in Morocco. It’s such a diverse country, and while the more remote areas can be a bit outside the comfort zone for some, they also offer a very different, and often more authentic, perspective of the country.

Thank you again for your honest feedback—it helps us grow and improve.

Best,
Megan Lower

Thanks so much for your kind words and for sharing your feedback—we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed your time in Morocco overall! It’s such a special place, and it means a lot to us when travelers come away with great memories.

Totally understandable about Meknes. It’s been going through major restoration work over the last few years, and while it has a lot of historical charm, some of its highlights—like Bab Mansour—aren’t quite back to their full glory just yet. Hopefully, it will feel more complete as the finishing touches are wrapped up.

We also appreciate your thoughts on the riad in Fes and the airport hotel. We know the airport hotel isn’t anything exciting, but given the limited options close by, it’s really about convenience for early/late flights. With Fes, we especially appreciate the feedback, as we are not always able to visit all properties on a regular basis and rely on feedback from travelers to know if there is something we need to address.

Thanks again for traveling with us—we really appreciate it!

All our accommodations were very comfortable and ready for us when we arrived. Our reservations for hotels and guided tours were set up beforehand and we had no issues with them during the trip. Morocco was truly beautiful and so diverse going from dry desert, to mountains and forests. Better save extra room in the budget for all the amazing handmade goods you'll find throughout Morocco too. I would 100% go back and book with the same travel agency again.

Not sure where to begin - from the first interactions with Megan (Wanderlust Voyages) for booking this vacation to the last day of the trip - everything was impeccably planned and executed. Morocco is a "haunting" country where "new age" vibrancy (think Casablanca, Marrakech) meets "old age" charm (think Merzouga/Sand dunes/Atlas mountains).

Not sure where to begin - from the first interactions with Megan (Wanderlust Voyages) for booking this vacation to the last day of the trip - everything was impeccably planned and executed. Morocco is a "haunting" country where "new age" vibrancy (think Casablanca, Marrakech) meets "old age" charm (think Merzouga/Sand dunes/Atlas mountains). We had a fantastic 11-day trip - right from the airport pickup (Tangier) to the last day drop off at Casablanca - everything was fantastic. Our tour driver, Hassan, was a phenomenal young bloke who knew the country well! The entire roadmap, as planned, was perfect! The Riads (hotels), food, tour guides, stops along the way as planned along with all the experiences (especially the local New Year's Eve immersion at a local restaurant/bar - Malak Emeraude) were absolutely memorable! We had a few small hiccups along the way, but they were quickly resolved via the ever-so-responsive, Sara Z., who it seems, never sleeps! - so a huge thank you to her! The Wanderlust team has been incredibly responsive and for us that was a big deal - timely, prompt and professional communication all along. I would highly recommend Megan L./Wanderlust Voyages for your next Morocco trip!

Hotel Reviews
Lina Ryad & Spa
Chefchaouen

Lina Ryad & Spa in Chefchaouen was fantastic. The service was impeccable and the private terrace offered a beautiful view of the city, which made up for the slightly small room. It was one of the better places we stayed at during our trip.

Riad Mayfez Suites & Spa
Fes

Riad Mayfez Suites & Spa offered fantastic service. The staff, especially Mrs. Huda, was outstanding and made sure all our needs were met. The room we stayed in had an Iranian palace vibe and was beautiful. However, the bathroom was small, and the door did not close properly, leading to water spillage, which seemed to be a design flaw.

Riad Madu
Merzouga

Riad Madu was in a great location right outside the dunes, offering beautiful views and lots of charming meeting spaces & common areas. The only downside was the lack of a flexible menu option for light dinners, but otherwise, it was a really lovely stay.

Le Berbere Palace
Ouarzazate

Le Berbere Palace in Ouarzazate was fantastic. It had a Hollywood vibe with themed interiors and was very comfortable, seeming more American in style compared to the other places. We enjoyed the restaurants and the overall experience.

Sillage Palace Sky & Spa
Marrakech

Sillage Palace Sky & Spa in Marrakesh was cozy and boutique-like, offering a nice local vibe. We enjoyed a local New Year's celebration there, making it a memorable part of our stay.

We had a fantastic trip to Morocco, planned with Megan from kimkim. She took into account our accommodation needs, and preferences for proximity to the medinas. She even accommodated a last minute change as we arrived a day earlier, and booked the accommodation, car and driver for that day too. It was a truly unforgettable experience in a wonderful country with friendly and beautiful people.

Our driver, Ahmad picked us up from the airport in Casablanca and drove us to Rabat, which was our first stop. He was very friendly, spoke great English, and was a calm and patient driver which was much appreciated. Could not have asked for a better driver.

Rabat was a great start as it’s clean, and the Medina is manageable on your own. The kasbah is beautiful too and easy to explore.

Next was Chef Chaouen where we explored the blue city with a guide Hazim. He was friendly and welcoming, and knowledgeable too.

We stopped in the Agafay desert, which was a unique experience, for a night, and carried onto Marrakech, where we had a guide Ezam for the food tour and also through the very large Medina. He was great and took into account our vegetarian needs.

Last stop was Casablanca. Overall a very well planned trip, with great service. Thank you!

A Mesmerizing Journey Through Morocco: From Coastal Cities to Saharan Sands
Our driver and guide Hassan Amraoui was the best part of the trip.
Our 10-day Moroccan adventure was made exceptional by our remarkable driver, Hassan Amraoui, whose expertise and patience transformed our journey into something truly special. His responsible driving and intimate knowledge of Morocco's roads ensured we traveled safely between destinations while experiencing the country's diverse landscapes.
In Casablanca, we admired the Hassan II Mosque's architectural grandeur before heading to Rabat, where the blue-walled Kasbah des Oudaias offered stunning coastal views. Hassan's local insights added depth to each location we visited.
Fes immersed us in history with its UNESCO-listed medina. Navigating the labyrinthine alleys, we watched skilled artisans work in the tanneries and crafts quarters. The sensory overload of spices, leather, and metalwork created an unforgettable atmosphere.
The journey's highlight was undoubtedly Merzouga and the Sahara Desert. Riding ATVs across towering sand dunes delivered pure adrenaline-pumping excitement. The golden dunes stretched endlessly, creating a surreal landscape that felt otherworldly. Hassan's expert navigation through the desert roads made this remote adventure possible.
Marrakech provided the perfect finale. The famous Djemaa el-Fna square pulsed with energy as snake charmers, storytellers, and food vendors created a carnival-like atmosphere. A food tour revealed the depths of Moroccan cuisine, from tender tagines to delicate pastries.
The aerial adventures in Marrakech – hot air ballooning at sunrise and paragliding over the landscape – offered breathtaking perspectives of the Red City and Atlas Mountains. Watching the morning light paint the city gold while floating silently overhead was simply magical.
Throughout our journey, Hassan's professionalism, friendly demeanor, and deep understanding of Morocco's culture and geography enhanced every aspect of our trip. His careful planning and flexible approach ensured we could fully immerse ourselves in each experience while maintaining a comfortable pace. Having such a reliable and knowledgeable driver made our Moroccan adventure not just a series of destinations, but a seamless journey through this captivating country.
