Two weeks of Global Convoy-style, overlanding adventure through iconic spots in Morocco.

At the Global Convoy, we run all sorts of trips, but one thing in common with them all – is that we LOVE a true adventure!

Morocco is full of opportunities to get off the beaten track and have an adventure due to its rugged landscape, famous Sahara Desert, and more. This trip will focus on the unique and beautiful landscapes that Morocco has to offer, combined with some of the most adventurous activities.

We will be exploring the Atlas Mountains, riding camels into the sunset of the golden sand dunes, and learn about the history of North Africa through its ancient historical sites and culture. As well as this we will be visiting some of the most Instagram-able places on earth!

From 18th of February 2023 until 4th of March 2023.

Starting in Marrakesh and finishing in Rabat, fly in at any time on the 18th and fly out at any time on Saturday the 4th.

Anyone looking to learn and explore without getting caught up in tourist traps.

Whilst anyone is welcome, this is adventure-travel and the pace, comforts and restrictions reflect that.

Our job is to get people out of their comfort zones, show them what they’re truly capable of and give them a new perspective on life - all while having a shit ton of fun in unbelievable locations making a ton of new friends for life and creating enough incredible, shared experiences to last a lifetime. Unsurprisingly, this doesn’t occur whilst having breakfast brought to you in bed in a 5 star hotel.

We encourage people from all walks of life to join. We’ve had 18 year olds fresh out of school through to over 50’s. It’s slightly clichéd, but it’s more about the age of your mindset and maturity than the age of your body.

The most important thing is that you are up for a challenge. There will be good times and there will be tough times, but as long as you’re willing to be a team player and help move the group forward, you’re a perfect fit!

So this is the bit we love…

Vehicles 🚗
We’ll be sourcing a mix of vehicles ourselves and through our community that keep with our classic convoy style: Bad enough to create an adventure but good enough to (most likely) make it!

We don’t currently need any extra vehicles but if you’re interested in bringing your own just let us know and we’ll see what we can do. No promises though!

Equipment ⛺️
We will be providing communal equipment for the group: cooking, tools, etc. and have a limited number of expedition sleeping bags and roll mats which we provide on a ‘first come, first served’ basis for a small fee.

Tents are organised based on group size and will be discussed and allocated closer to the time once the group has taken shape.

If you would like to bring your own equipment or need help or advice in sourcing these items, just let us know in the pre-adventure call and we’ll be happy to help. 😊

Discounts

The standard entry fee for this adventure is £1050.

We’ve been chatting with Alex from The Travel Squad and as part of a collaboration we’re happy to offer 15% off to any TTS members, bringing the price to £900 for the 2 week adventure.

If you’d like information on how to join TTS simply get in touch with us.

Our first round of ESTIMATES.

Here at the Convoy we want you to know exactly what you’re getting into ahead of time. Our goal is not to rip you off or trick you in with fantastically low costs. So to help your planning and budgeting, here’s a whole section dedicated to all the foreseeable costs for the trip. We plan for the worst when estimating for trips, so ideally you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how little you spend.

With that in mind, we’ve drawn up a very rough overview of how much the trip will cost you.

If you decide to go and get smashed every night, only eat at restaurants and don’t budget properly, you WILL spend much more. SO in summary, these are ESTIMATED costs. You can spend more or you can spend less.

Entry Fee: £900

Food & drink £5-10/day

Accommodation £5-10/day avg.

Travel insurance £40

Optional extras (tourist sites, etc.) £50+

Unforeseen circumstances £50+

This is our first round of estimated costs - we’re still in talks with sponsors/accommodation/tourist boards to get the absolute maximum experience possible for these costs.

Things are subject to change but this is a good indicator of roughly what the trip will cost.

Group discounts, local knowledge and turning up in places that people don’t usually get to.

We’ve crammed the most adventure that we possibly could into 2 weeks AND found a bunch of awesome locations to check out and explore throughout each of them! We’ve driven most of these areas before and done the research on the others to keep costs down without actually sacrificing the experience of being there.

Better than usual groups, stranger than usual routes and once-in-a-lifetime experiences… People seem to like them.

We start with outlandish, exciting adventure concepts and then craft them into realistically achievable plans. We then figure a minimum amount of people required to run the adventure affordably for everyone, then start taking deposits.

If we reach the minimum required participants for a given adventure, the deposits are locked in and the trip is confirmed!

If there aren’t enough confirmed team members by the cut-off date, all deposits are returned immediately.

Of course! That’s how we’ve made it this far! 😅

With different countries having their own restrictions - and those restrictions often changing - we’ve had to figure a fair few back up options.

As of writing, Morocco is allowing tourists to travel through it. We’ve also set aside a lot of room to adjust our timings and route as unforeseen events or problems pop up.

Whilst this uncertainty might sound like a bad thing, it’s kind of the bread and butter of Convoy trips! All we can recommend for you is to ‘hope for the best but prepare for the worst’ and we’ll do everything within our power to get you safely from a to b with a metric fuck-ton of awesome stories by the end!

By following local laws, guidelines and ensuring that everyone on our crew stays safe during the pandemic.

As of writing, there are no laws requiring COVID vaccinations for the countries we’ll be travelling through - Although these laws could change suddenly.

Unvaccinated guests wishing to join our adventure will need to sign an extra waiver acknowledging this, the possibility of being left behind if laws change and they are unable to enter the next country and that they may not get a full refund in this situation.

Whilst things are beginning to re-open, we are travelling at a time when travel is not so easy and we want to make sure to be responsible during this re-opening period for many countries in Europe.

While this information may change as new details emerge, this is our current situation.

So you may have noticed the convoy runs a bit differently to your typical tour company 😂

We want the best adventure for everyone, that’s why we personally take part in every adventure ourselves and take the time to confirm each member of the team is joining the right trip for them.

When you’ve decided this is the right adventure for you, fill out the sign up form at the bottom of the page, you’ll then be able to reserve your spot with a £100 non-refundable deposit.

We’ll then arrange a casual chat with with you to a) get to know you a little better, b) confirm that this is the right adventure for you and that you’ll gain something from it!
If we feel that actually this isn’t the right choice for you, we’ll let you know and fully refund your deposit (minus any processing fees incurred).
Don’t worry! This doesn’t mean you can’t join future Global Convoy adventures, we just don’t think this specific trip suits you based on the information we’ve been given.

You’ll then have until January 1st 2023 to send your remaining payment.

If for any reason the trip is cancelled, you will be refunded your deposit (minus any processing fees incurred).
If for any reason you are unable or choose not take part in the trip and the trip goes ahead, you will not be refunded.

If you’re still not 100% clear, click here for a badly drawn diagram Max made that should help 😊

If anything isn’t 100% clear then please get in contact with us and we’ll be happy to clear things up.

You can send us a message here or reach out to us on social media further down this page. 😊
