I went in 2003 with Vince..
They go mob handed too many vehicles really and it's a run to the sand. IMHO you could do better with other companies that do Morocco. Simon |

Find some like minded peeps and plan your own trip?
There are other companies with better reputations  |

One Life Adventure are very family friendly. Done a few trips when our son was 5 and 8, he loved it. Give them a call.

Paul at one life is a much better call than lro. He is a top bloke very very knowledgable and will look after your kids like they are his own.

Back in 2002 I went to Morroco with some friends who took their 10yr old son and 8 yr old daughter. Both thoroughly enjoyed the experience but they both had lots of things to do in the car. They were also in a Range Rover Classic
Our trip was organised by Trailmasters, who I wouldn't particularly recommend, but it was at a nice steady pace. As others have said, the LRO trips do tend to be a bit of a dash. I'll add another thumbs up for Paul at One Life, too. I haven't been to Morocco with him but I've done other trips and he's a top bloke. Atlas Overland also have a very good reputation.

Any reason you cannot go by yourself?
Pretty sure if you can get down to Gibraltar by yourself it's only a little further, I will go on my own. Just a thought, we went to a campsite in Spain run by a Dutch couple and they were doing it over there Xmas break with 2 young children. Steve  |

Luismi from this forum is going this year and he has a lad who's about 7... I know he goes with a lot of his Spanish crew, though he may be good to get advice from?

I can vouch for Luismi, fantastic guy ive had a pleasure of meeting
 jumped up and down with excitement when he saw my 110 go through that last huge mud hole on the last salisbury run and I very nearly didnt make it as it went over the windscreen!
He wisely went around as he was behind me! it killed my alternator and heater blower  2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold)

Thank you Guys
Last year we went to Morocco with my 5 year old boy, we still feed him with Spanish food though and will look like 7 
One of the fantastic feelings in morocco, i believe that this one is for each one of us, is Freedom, and i think with an organized trip you loose this bit. I always said that Morocco is safer than a stroll through any street of your neighbourhood. Absolutely brilliant experience for the kids. We spend a few days with a Berber family as i want him to see how they live. We all have a great time to enjoy and learn and for me after 6 trips to morocco was the best by far. Depend on your objectives you will choose one route or another, happy to help if you need it. Last edited by Luismi on 21st Feb 2013 5:19pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Thanks for the info really appriciate it, I thought the lro would be the best one for some reason, Surprised me!
I don't fancy going at it alone really, i think it's the party your travelling with that adds a lot more to the experience and there aren't any peeps In my circle that are adventuress enough to go. Fantastic pic luismi! I can imagine you would loose that bit of freedom on an organised trip but also gain some sort of security at the same time, as it will be my first overland with my young one I'd feel a bit safer with a gang,
