    Beautiful gardens , loved all of the cobolt blue accessories and the house was a beautiful contrast against the greenery . It was very busy, we had to que for a while even though we had a ticket and entry time . It was worth visiting, some tranquility amongst the outside chaos which is everywhere in Marrakesh.

    What a crazy place! So easy to get turned around! But what colour, what excitement, what hustle and bustle. Lots to see and shopping is easy if you wish, but I kept my wallet well hidden. Can't believe the crowds and the motorcycles driving through the people. Strange to a Canadian but an absolute must visit place.

    Visiting Bahia Palace was an incredible experience! The palace is absolutely stunning, with its beautiful courtyards, intricate mosaics, and impressive architecture. The gardens are peaceful and offer a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. We loved exploring the rooms, especially the grand reception hall, which was filled with amazing details. The calm atmosphere and rich history of the place made it a memorable part of our trip. Highly recommend a visit if you're in Marrakech!

    Spent a few hours admiring incredible history and
    Monuments. Got very hungry and ordered food using Talabat app. Use this code MOHAMED-151949060 while signing up and you will get a 150 pounds to spend on food. The food got delivered on time in the square. Really good location in the middle of everything.

    What a wonderful experience. The views from table mountain have to be some of the most beautiful in the world. Absolute must do if you are in "the mother city" Cape Town. What a vibe in and around the cable way. Friendly staff and although I had to wait quite sometime to get a ticket it was all well worth it.

    Visited here on the afternoon of Dec-28, 2024.

    Started off with an Indian lunch at: The Raj authentic Indian restaurant.

    Then spent time visiting the various shops in the mall & then along the waterfront exploring the Xmas tree decor & watching the birds & other shoppers before finally heading out to our sunset cruise at 7 pm.

    Can't believe we've thought about skipping this tour!!!!
    And can't believe we've thought about doing it with no tour guide- insane!

    Thank God the stars aligned and at the last minute we were able to tour with the wonderful Sanjeev Sanjeev (+23058154375)!!!
    He was extremely knowledgeable, patient and great with our kid!!
    He showed us all the really cool stuff and the best angles for a great Instagram photos😉! (Plus risked his life repeatedly just for the sake of a phenomenal picture!).
    The best thing- he is super patient and enables you to really soak the beauty of the place (trust me- you won't get enough of it!)

    Thank you so much Sanjeev❤️

    I recently had the most incredible experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via the 7-day Lemosho Route, organized by Nafika Tours. From start to finish, everything was handled with so much care and professionalism. Here’s why I would recommend Nafika Tours to anyone dreaming of this adventure

    The communication was excellent right from the start. The team responded quickly to all my questions, offering clear and detailed information about the itinerary, packing list, and what to expect on the mountain. Their friendly and patient approach made the planning process stress-free.

    Our guides were exceptional. They were knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely cared about our well-being. They shared fascinating insights about the mountain and the local culture, making every moment of the trek enjoyable. They encouraged us every step of the way, especially during the challenging summit night.

    The porters were absolute heroes! Their hard work and dedication amazed me. They carried our belongings with such efficiency and always greeted us with smiles and words of encouragement. It’s clear Nafika Tours treats their team with respect, which was so heartwarming to see.

    The food was delicious and far exceeded my expectations. From hearty breakfasts to warm soups and satisfying dinners, the meals kept us energized and excited for the day ahead. They even catered to dietary preferences! I couldn’t believe the variety of meals they managed to prepare on the mountain.

    The quality of the gear and tents was top-notch. The sleeping tents were spacious and comfortable, and the dining tent was a cozy space to gather and enjoy meals. The company provided sturdy equipment, ensuring we stayed warm and dry throughout the trek.

    Safety was a top priority for Nafika Tours. We had daily medical check-ups to monitor our oxygen levels and overall health, which gave us peace of mind as we ascended to higher altitudes. The guides were trained in first aid and handled everything with care.

    The 7-day Lemosho Route was beautifully planned, giving us enough time to acclimatize while enjoying breathtaking views. From the lush rainforest to the alpine desert and the snowy summit, every day was an adventure.

    Thanks to Nafika Tours, I reached the Uhuru Peak, and it was one of the most emotional and rewarding moments of my life. I cannot thank the team enough for making this journey so memorable.

    If you’re looking for a professional, caring, and experienced company for your Kilimanjaro climb, Nafika Tours is the perfect choice. They truly go above and beyond!

    Thanks to Nafika Tours, for making this dream come true!

    A trip to Morocco would not be complete without a stop in the Sahara desert and, with Sahara 4x4, you are certain not to be disappointed. As a group of three girls in our twenties, we did extensive research in order to find the best company, sending lots of emails and asking our friends for advice. We wanted a trustworthy company who offered a comfortable&adaptable experience at a reasonable price, and what we were given was even better than that!

    The car was huge, we were given plenty of water bottles and AC was available (and a necessity given the high temperatures). The accommodations were truly dreamy and felt like real & serene escapes, distinguishing themselves with authenticity and impeccable service. All the activities were well-planned, the organization went smoothly and the communication with Said was easy, efficient and fast. Above all, the journey through the desert was truly spectacular, with breathtaking sights as well as kind-hearted and devoted people. No detail was missed and we are extremely thankful and grateful for everyone who took part in making this experience a memory we will cherish forever.

    We could not ask for a better driver than Youssef, who has an immense knowledge on Morocco, knew the answer to all of our questions and brought us to all the best spots in order to avoid the usual tourist traps. Beyond that, he is also an amazing human being we were grateful to share path with for that short amount of time.

    We continue to recommend Sahara 4x4 to everyone around us and hope to book another trip with your company in the near future… Fingers crossed!

    Thank you again for everything!

    We were travelling as a family, with 2 children younger adults and older adults. We were concerned about longer drives with children, however our driver Dan was outstanding with the children and all of us. We have travelled widely in Africa, and we couldn't have had a better driver. It made a wonderful trip even better. We were travelling over Christmas when there were terrible traffic jams to the north of Nairobi. Dan was in regular contact with his office, and made changes to our journey to keep the disruption to a minimum. Dan was with us for 9 days, and we were all so sorry to say our goodbyes. Thank you SO much.
