This popular day walk makes a circuit from and back to Kasbah Africa and includes visits to several Berber villages en route, an English-speaking mountain guide and picnic lunch. From Kasbah Africa we begin with a walk downstream alongside the Azzaden River to Torort village before making an ascent to Tikhfist village, perched high above the Azzaden Valley.

Enjoy stunning views and a refreshing glass of mint tea at Tikhfist before descending to the Ouirgane Valley. We enjoy fine views of the Ouirgane reservoir and dam on our descent. After a break for lunch we walk to our next destination, the Marigha Valley. Here we visit the original Berber hamlet of Marigha, still mainly constructed of traditional mud-built dwellings.

Nearby, the salt pans of Tinzert are a striking sight. Here brine is drawn by hand from a deep well in a rubber bucket and guided to salt pans to evaporate in the sun. The salt is then cleaned, bagged and transported by mule to local markets for sale. We return to Kasbah Africa on a different route, mainly following irrigation canals. This is a moderate day hike with varied terrain and 6-7 hours of walking. It is suitable for keen walkers.
