Morocco 10th - 17th April 2026
SUBU goes to Morocco....!
Duration: 8 days
Morocco is the kind of place that grabs you by the shoulders, shakes you a little, and goes, “Ready for an adventure or what?” It’s chaotic, colourful, warm, loud, and ridiculously beautiful.
We’re talking sandboarding down golden dunes, stargazing from a Berber camp, and getting lost (in a good way) in the maze-like souks of Marrakech. Chefchaouen looks like it’s been dipped in blue paint. Then there’s the Sahara… yeah, the actual Sahara. Camel rides at sunset and sandboarding down massive dunes.
The food? Fresh bread everywhere and Tagine tastes different when you’re actually in Morocco.
If you’re looking for a trip that’s nothing like your typical holiday… Morocco is the one.
Pack your bags, charge your camera, and come explore Morocco with us.
There’s only a limited number of spots, and once they’re gone, that’s it. Don’t miss out!
Please note, this trip is currently Unconfirmed pending minimum numbers. Please do not book any flights until you receive our e-mail confirmation. UniLife will not be held responsible for any flight booked by participants on a pending trip.
