Because most of our eco-experiences are in remote areas, public transport is often not an option. But to get to Morocco itself, to avoid flying, why not consider the ferry from Spain which is less than 10 miles from Tangier in the North West of Morocco?
If you select one of our ECO Activities, see below for information on how to get there.
If you decide to do one of our ECO Tours, you need only tell us where you wish the tour to start from (any airport, train station, ferry port etc in Morocco) and we will collect you.
If you book M’hamid desert trekking – they start in the town of M’hamid in the south of Morocco. It is safe and friendly with cafe’s, shops and hotels.
At 450km (7hrs) from Marrakech and 257km (4hrs) from Ouarzazate and 98km (1.5hrs) from Zagora, it is easily accessible and there are several ways to get here.

The Rif Pottery and Rif Plant Distillation experiences are both based in the Taounate Province which is between Fes and Chefchaoeun in the North of Morocco.
The are no viable public transport option for these activities and therefore we will arrange a private transfer for you which can start at your hotel accommodation or at the airport etc.
Alternatively you can incorporate this activity into one of our ECO Tours of Morocco.
The Organic Farm is situated 65km (1.5hrs drive) from Marrakech in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.
You cannot reach it by bus but you could get a public taxi for less than Euro 5 however, you have to wait for the taxi to fill up before it departs and you will need to change taxis par way through the journey.
Alternatively, we can provide a transfer for Euro 120 which is pre booked and with a professional English speaking driver.
Better still why not include it as part of our longer tours. (Check out our ECO Tours or talk to us about our bespoke tours)
You will find Jarjeer just 24 kms from Marrakech on the Rue d’Amizmiz (P 2009) alongside the village of Oumnass. As you approach Oumnass village on the left, the road curves to the right where there is a sign for Jarjeer. Follow the piste at the sign on your right for about 200 metres, bearing to the right (do not go straight on at the junction), where you will see the entrance gate ahead.
It is also very easy to visit by bus. The number 45 from Sidi Mimoun will take you to Oumnass. If you are visiting Marrakech your hotel or riad will direct you to Sidi Mimoun. The bus driver will tell you when you get there if you ask him when you pay your fare (only 6 dh by the way). If you phone from the bus stop when you leave, the sanctuary will come and pick you up.
A taxi is also possible but be insistent in your request. A lot of taxi drivers don’t understand why you want to come and see donkeys and would rather take you to a carpet shop! However there are many drivers who know about the good work done here and will be happy to take you.
Your ECO Tour of Morocco can be adapted to start and end anywhere in Morocco. Just discuss your plans with us and we will help to design the best route. Our driver will then collect you from whichever Moroccan airport, port, train station or hotel you require.
In order to completely avoid the need to fly, why not consider catching the ferry from Spain to Tangier. It is a very short crossing and this way you can travel through Europe on public transport prior to your Morocco Tour.
Sefrou is approximately 40 minutes from Fes.
We can either arrange a transfer for you in a private taxi or you can arrange your own public taxi (Grand Taxi).
Grand Taxi = 12dh per person but be aware that the car will fill up with other people (quite a few) before it departs. They leave from Slaki or ask any petit taxi (local to Fes only) for the grand taxi du Sefrou and they will take you to the right place to get the Grand Taxi.
The bus is so unreliable and bad in its exhaust emissions that we are unable to recommend it at this time.
We can help you with all your arrangements
