Expert Trip Leadership, Every Step of the Way
A Vantage Adventure Leader will accompany your group from start to finish of your Moroccan safari journey — leading sightseeing tours, sharing insights, and connecting you to the wonders of your destination. You can count on your Adventure Leader to smooth the way, take care of the details, and see to it that your experience is truly memorable. If you’ve chosen to add the optional Essaouira extension, you’ll also enjoy the services of a City Host, who’ll help you plan your exploration.
Your Adventure Leaders
Amhed Almoutaqui
Amhed was born in Morocco and currently resides there, in Marrakesh. He has been a tour guide for more than 20 years! Growing up in Marrakesh, Morocco’s most visited city, he met people from all over the world and wished to share his love for his country with them. His favorite travel destinations are France, London, and the Canary Islands. He says the most important experience travelers can have while visiting his country is participating in a cooking class, because it immerses them in Moroccan culture. When he’s not leading tours, Amhed likes to help his wife in her flower shop.
Said Bouelli
Said was born and currently lives in Marrakesh, Morocco. He speaks Arabic, English, French, and Italian, and considers being a guide to be a way of life — not just a job. Before becoming a tour leader, he studied hotel management and administration at the Institute of Tourism in Tangier. The number one experience he likes his travelers to have is the opportunity to cook and learn about the variety of cultural and religious influences on cuisine in different parts of the country.

REGIONAL EXPERTS ENRICH YOUR DISCOVERIES
No one knows a destination better than an insider. If you add an optional extension to your journey, you’ll enjoy the services of experienced, English-speaking regional experts. Their deep command of local history will certainly enrich your visits to important attractions. But, our ‘insiders’ go a step beyond, sharing information on behind-the-scenes aspects of local culture that ordinary tours usually overlook. How do families in this area get by? What are some of the local legends? What do the decorations on a particular house mean? Your regional expert is eager to bring it all alive for you.
