> Know Before You Go
The more you know about the destination and the conditions
you can expect on your Wildland Adventure, the more you will
enjoy your experience. We invite you to call our destination
specialists at 1-800-345-4453 so that we can answer any questions
or concerns. The following information will also help you
prepare for the exciting experience ahead and enable you
to get the very most from your trip.
Air Travel Arrangements
We are pleased to assist you with your flights to Morocco.
We offer discounted bulk rate fares with preferred airlines
and are familiar with the best schedules and routing. International
flights for Wildland Adventures’ trips to Morocco arrive
into Casablanca. There is no obligation to purchase your
international tickets from Wildland Adventures although our
fares are usually competitive based on advanced purchase
and availability. Many different airlines fly to Morocco,
the major carriers being Delta, British Airways and Royal
Air Maroc with direct service from New York.
Health
Once you sign up for a trip, we provide detailed information
about health precautions and possible immunizations for travel
to each destination. A consultation with your doctor, a local
travel clinic, or public health office will help you decide
which medications or inoculations are necessary for your
safe participation on the trip. Wildland Adventures staff
are not licensed medical authorities, however, we know the
exact areas, environments and conditions under which you
will be traveling, all of which can affect the relative risk
of exposure to health conditions and help you make decisions
concerning immunizations and prescription medicines. Preventative
measures against infectious diseases may require advance
planning so plan ahead for immunization. Pregnant women and
parents traveling with young children should consult their
physician or pediatrician.
Visitors to Morocco should drink plenty of liquids to keep
hydrated, and avoid drinking tap water. Bottled water and
drinks are available throughout the country. Travelers should
exercise caution when purchasing food from street vendors
or stalls, and carry medications for minor stomach ailments.
You will find sanitary facilities to be clean and modern
in the hotels and guest houses on your trip. Although biting
insects are not a problem in Morocco, it is a good idea to
bring a small amount of bug repellent. Malaria is extremely
uncommon, and malaria prophylaxis is not recommended for
short stays in Morocco. No vaccinations are required for
entry but you should consider vaccination against hepatitis
and typhoid, and all travelers should be up-to-date on tetanus-diphtheria,
measles-mumps-rubella, and polio.
