Value vs Cost Debatable, but Useful for Coordinating
Morocco

Apr 19 - Apr 27, 2025
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
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.
Good for kids with lots of little board games and activities. Bad for people who wanted a view. Hotel has bad food and not near any restaurants
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...
Activity Reviews
Car ride
Great knowledgeable guide, I wish we had seen a bit more of the landmarks, but only so much can be done on a half day tour.
Its a car ride
Was fun, wish we had known it was 4 hours long in advance
Tour was great, our guide was very knowledgeable, and we saw so many different landmarks and interesting places.
Just a car ride, we didn't want to stop for the monkeys. Its a long ride but it has great views.
Fun ride, ruined by guide trying to sell scam objects at the end
It is not a real ATV adventure, you slowly drive behind a guide.
We did not get to do this activity due to poor planning by the KimKim Staff
Very fun, great view
Very fun, further from the city than we had been told. the drive with the paragliding crew after drop off was terrifying. They had people sitting on the roof of the car as we went up a narrow windy road on the edge of the cliff.
