Morocco Waterfalls & Safaris

Morocco waterfall safaris start with the water. Ouzoud Falls drops about 110 metres in the Middle Atlas, with olive groves and Barbary macaques. Combine it with Marrakech, the High Atlas and the Sahara.

When to visit Morocco

Best time: March–May; September–November. Waterfalls and wildlife peak at different times, so plan around both; see the seasonal calendar.

National parks to pair with the falls

• Toubkal National Park
• Ifrane National Park

Planning a trip to Morocco

The Cascades d'Ouzoud, about two and a half to three hours from Marrakech, is a popular day trip or overnight stop. Combine it with the High Atlas, the desert at Merzouga or Zagora, and the imperial cities over one to two weeks.

Practical tips

The currency is the Moroccan dirham, which cannot be taken out of the country. Cash is used widely outside the cities. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable times to travel. Visa, health and entry rules change, so check official advice for your nationality before you book.

Getting to Morocco

Fly into Marrakech (RAK). Many nationalities do not need a visa for short stays. Most trips start from Marrakech, two and a half hours from Ouzoud Falls.
