Paragliding exotica this Spring and Autumn...

Join us on one of our inspirational guided paragliding safaris in Morocco. Get away from Europe for the most reliable paragliding conditions this spring and autumn - from the sweetest thermals, to sand-dune flying and deserted coastal ridge soaring. Paraglide Morocco!

No electricity, no running water...

no bars, no discos, dusty roads, and sometimes the simplest of accommodation. We travel by 4x4 vehicle to find the best flying and give you an extravagant cultural experience visiting remote parts of Morocco inhabited by the mythical Berber tribes. The scenery is breath-taking, enchanting and very exotic. Fly in the setting sun with the magical Atlas mountains and Saharan desert as backdrops. Swoop through the African skies as the scenery changes through incredible shades of crimson and scarlet, shades of saffron yellow, lilac and purple. See the brightest star-filled night skies. Enjoy delicious Moroccan cuisine from aromatic and spicy tagines to succulent fruit and of course the ubiquitous mint tea.

The PASSION Morocco Safaris

The safari-style nature of our trips means we have the freedom to explore Morocco’s paragliding potential to the maximum, (and drink up some amazing scenery along the way).

All PASSION safaris are one week long and have a maximum of 10-12 people. Our safaris come in several flavours to suite your taste:


	High Atlas Safari Classic Explore Morocco

	This is our most popular safari. The original and classic and now in its 8th successful season. From Marrakech we head directly into the High Atlas mountains. You can expect to be flying from day one at Aguergour our main base for this trip and probably the most famous site in Morocco. Our excursions include ascents of some of the highest mountains in North Africa with donkeys packing those heavy wings and harnesses for us. We also visit Tisn’Test on the southern side of the High Atlas mountains to fly high above the Sous valley and distant Saharan desert.


	High Atlas Safari Super High Adventure SPORT

	Be amongst the first British pilots to ever paraglide from the highest mountain in North Africa. At 4167metres Toubkal is a two day gentle climb. Conditions in autumn are usually ideal, but we will be choosing the best forecast of the week to give us the highest chance of succeeding. The rest of the week will be spent exploring new and old sites on the north side of the Atlas mountains and we will likely be the first pilots to fly some of these sites. This trip is reserved for pilots with a reasonable level of fitness. Adventurous stories guaranteed. Price includes porters and mules. In 2009 the winds didn't quite play ball. At this altitude the weather can be very delicate. Late October 2010 we're set for our second attempt!


	High Atlas Safari Chill out Ideal for low air-timers

	Run along similar lines to our classic adventure but with most of the time spent at Agguegour - a particularly good site for low airtime pilots to gain thermalling experience and improve their confidence in a mountain environment. Lots of pointers and opportunities to learn and improve. Later in the week we visit one or two other areas to build on thermalling skills and experience.


	High Atlas Safari Pilot Week Get your Pilot qualification

	Run along similar lines to our classic adventure but with more "class-room" time and less travelling. Each day we will be covering topics relevant to the pilot syllabus. We will also be supervising and signing off practical exercises. Candidates will sit their pilot exam at the end of the week. We will not miss the flying for study and we retain out flexible approach so normally we will be visiting other flying sites during the week. This trip is open to all pilots of all levels - whether or not they wish to sit their pilot exam. Please let us know if you'd like to sit your Pilot Exam (at no extra cost)!


	Deep South Safari Escape Perfect end of season & Christmas chill-out holiday

	We base ourselves very close to the flying - often quite literally ON the take-off. Hop out of bed and fly. Soar the hours away and top land for some generous local cuisine. Life doesn’t come much sweeter than this! Excursions during the week take us through the Valley of Almonds into the Anti-Atlas mountains and further South to Plage Blanche where 50km flights along virgin white beaches flying over wild camels are up for grabs.
