Sole Sister Ramblers Morocco Adventure - Tara Romoff
A bucket list adventure with like-minded women in midlife and beyond.
Most women join our adventures on their own and don't know anyone else before the trip begins. Our trips are specifically designed for solo travelers, making them a wonderful way to meet like-minded women and build new friendships.
Before departure, we create a private WhatsApp group where travelers can introduce themselves, chat, coordinate travel plans, and discuss training and trip preparation. By the time the adventure begins, you'll already recognize some familiar names and faces.
Tipping
Tipping is a meaningful way to recognize great service while travelling. Although it may not be customary in your home country, it is an established part of the tourism industry in many destinations and is greatly appreciated by those who help make your trip memorable.
When tipping, avoid using coins or notes that are damaged, dirty or in very small denominations.
Tipping Kitty
On Day 1, your Intrepid local guide may suggest a group tipping kitty. Each traveller contributes an equal amount, which is used to tip drivers, local guides, hotel staff and other service providers throughout the trip.
Participation is optional, and you may manage your own tipping if you prefer.
Your leader will keep a record of the money collected and distributed, which can be reviewed at any time. Any remaining funds will be returned to the group at the end of the trip.
The tipping kitty does not include tips for your local guide or for optional activity providers.
Tipping your group leader or local representative
If you feel your Intrepid local guide has provided outstanding service, you may choose to tip them separately at the end of the trip.
As a guideline, Intrepid recommends USD $5–$10 per person, per day—or the equivalent in the local currency. The amount is entirely your choice and should reflect your experience and the level of service provided.
It is a Sole Sister tradition for our host to collect tips for the local guide from participants and present them as a group on the final day.
Intrepid travel experiences offer a chance to explore beyond the typical attractions, allowing you to discover hidden gems you might otherwise overlook. Your local guide will recommend the best restaurants and sights on this adventure.
The guide will also introduce you to the unique aspects of Moroccan food, drink, and cultural traditions, and assist with translations when needed.
It's also comforting to know that all trip participants will be like-minded women close to your age. This commonality means you will likely share many interests and may form lasting friendships. It's also wonderful to know you can stay in touch after your adventure through the Sole Sister Rambler community.
You'll enjoy your adventure with other like-minded women 45+, making lifelong friends.
Intrepid and their local guides collaborate with local restaurants and hotels to ensure that travelers enjoy delicious meals showcasing regional cuisines.
Morocco is recognized as an exciting culinary destination and the food you experience during your journey will likely be a very fond memory.
Many lovely meals are included in this itinerary. However, not all meals are included in the trip price, providing maximum flexibility in choosing where, what, and with whom to eat. This arrangement also allows for various budgeting options.
Vegetarians and vegans may encounter limited menu options in Morocco, particularly outside of the major cities. Typically, the available choices consist of basic items such as salads, rice, soups, bread, cheese, fruit, yogurt, and eggs.
Your local guide will be on hand to assist you in finding menu items that meet your dietary restrictions. However, there may be times when individuals with specific dietary needs will need to shop for their own food in local markets.
Vegans and those following a gluten-free diet will need to supplement their meals with items from local markets. Supermarkets and local markets are generally accessible most days.
Please inform the booking agent of any dietary restrictions or food allergies before your departure.
We'll start and end our journey in the historic fascinating and atmospheric city of Marrakech.
It's a truly special place filled with history and culture!
You will be accompanied by a local Intrepid tour leader and a Sole Sister Ramblers host.
The local tour leader’s role is to ensure a hassle-free adventure while introducing you to excellent restaurants, sharing insights about the local culture, and acting as a translator when needed. This guide is also responsible for your safety and will serve as an experienced liaison if you encounter any problems.
Intrepid local leaders do more than just show you the destination; they help you connect with the soul of the place. You can expect them to have a broad understanding of the locations visited, including their historical, cultural, religious, and social aspects.
The Sole Sister host will ensure that everyone is having fun and promote a welcoming and inclusive experience, dedicated to our motto: "Everywhere is in Rambling distance with Sole Sisters."
Accommodations are two twin beds with double occupancy in local guest houses and small local hotels.
Roommates are assigned randomly unless you request a specific roommate at the time of booking.
Ramblers can also purchase a single occupancy add-on. If you pay for a single occupancy, you will have a single room throughout.
All rooms will have en-suite bathrooms and all essential amenities.
There are no arrival or departure transfers for this adventure. The group will meet in Marrakech on the day the trip begins.
Once the tour reaches the minimum number of participants (9), Intrepid will email all participants, informing them that the tour is guaranteed and that it's time to book their flights!
The closest International airport is the Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK).
You can ask Intrepid to help you plan travel and chat about options in the dedicated Sole Sister Ramblers trip WhatsApp Group.
When you book, Intrepid will ask for a deposit and the final balance will be due 70 days before departure.
You will have access to a personal Intrepid portal, which you can log in to and pay money off when you feel like it before the final balance is due.
Intrepid will send a payment link, but if you prefer to pay directly to them via an in-person agent, you can choose to do that instead.
Intrepid is a certified B Corp and has one of the travel industry's most comprehensive animal welfare policies.
They have worked with animal welfare organizations for many years, removed elephant rides from all of their trips in 2014, and regularly audit animal experiences to ensure they meet their welfare standards.
They were the first tour operator in the world to ban elephant rides on their adventures.
With regard to camels, Intrepid does still include camel rides in some destinations, but only with operators that have been assessed against their Animal Welfare Policy.
Their leaders are required to refuse to use any animals that appear to be in poor condition or are being mistreated. Their policy includes checking that the camels are healthy, free of sores or injuries, are not overloaded, are not worked in extreme heat, and that handlers do not use physical force or excessive whipping. If these standards are not being met, Intrepid's leaders are expected to stop using that supplier and report the issue.
That said, there are organizations, including PETA, that oppose all camel rides in tourism and argue that even well-managed operations involve exploitation. Others point out that camels are domesticated working animals that have been part of North African life for centuries and that their welfare depends on how they are treated rather than whether they work. Reasonable people can reach different conclusions on this question.
If you are personally uncomfortable with participating in the camel ride, there is absolutely no obligation to do so. You are welcome to skip that activity and simply enjoy the desert experience from camp. We want everyone to travel in a way that aligns with their own values while respecting those of others.
Intrepid Travel is focused on balancing purpose with profit. In 2018, they formalized this commitment by becoming a certified B Corporation.
Certified B Corporations prioritize their employees, strive for a more inclusive supply chain, and elevate corporate social responsibility. This certification signifies their dedication to creating benefits for everyone.
Intrepid's official pledge is to utilize travel as a force for good in the world.
The following is not included in the price: international flights, required visas, services not mentioned in the itinerary, late check-out at hotels, meals and drinks not mentioned in the itinerary, drinks with included lunches and dinners, tips for leaders, guide and driver, expenditure of personal nature, personal insurance and optional activities.
To travel internationally, you will need a valid passport. Most countries require that your passport be valid for at least six months, so be sure to check its expiry date before your trip.
Intrepid will need your passport information to prepare for your journey, so the details on your booking must match your passport exactly. Please ensure that you provide accurate information.
We also recommend that you carry a copy of the photo page of your passport while traveling and leave an additional copy at home with family or friends.
You are responsible for checking and addressing visa requirements from your country of origin.
Intrepid will share the specific cancellation terms when you book your trip, as these can vary slightly depending on the adventure.
In most cases, a $400 deposit is required at the time of booking, with the remaining balance due 70–90 days before departure.
If something comes up and you need to cancel before making your final payment, that $400 deposit can usually be applied toward another Intrepid adventure — so it doesn’t have to go to waste.
Once full payment has been made, trips are generally non-refundable.
Intrepid is committed to ensuring that all its trips are safe for everyone involved, including travelers, local leaders, and the communities they visit.
Their health and safety policies align with recommendations from the World Health Organization and the World Travel & Tourism Council's Safe Travel protocols for tour operators.
Each itinerary undergoes a thorough risk assessment and audit, and both leaders and suppliers complete extensive health and safety training.
