Our Guides
Between desert, culture and coral reefs: personalized itineraries to explore North Africa at your own pace.
From Egypt's Red Sea to the blue alleys of Chefchaouen, North Africa offers total escape just a few hours' flight away. Our guides cover a diving and relaxation stay in Egypt (Red Sea) and a tailor-made trip to Morocco, between culture, medinas and desert: a North Africa itinerary planned day by day.

"First time in Morocco, and I was a little afraid of getting stuck in the touristy clichés. Amélie recommended a riad outside the most crowded part of the medina, and a day trip into the Atlas Mountains I'd never have organised on my own."
Léa — Trip to MarrakechOur Egypt and Red Sea guide says you can go all year round, ideally outside the summer.
We recommend March to May and September to November for our Morocco travel guide.
Our Egypt and Red Sea guide covers 8 days with an indicative budget of €1,000 to €1,250. Our Morocco guide covers 6 days with an indicative budget of €500 to €650.
We don't have a dedicated safari guide yet. Our article on planning a safari explains how to choose the destination, the season (the dry season, June to October, is the most recommended) and the type of accommodation, and you can request a tailor-made itinerary.
Each guide gives a day-by-day itinerary, practical tips and curated addresses, so you can get started step by step. Our current guides cover North Africa (Egypt and Morocco).
Sometimes, but it takes preparation: entry requirements (identification, vaccinations, certificates) vary by country and some protected sites or parks don't accept animals. We adapt the itinerary, but always check the rules with the official authorities before booking.
TripCompanion looks at your criteria (budget, pace, season, whether you travel with a dog) to build the itinerary, choose the stops and find the right addresses.
These guides are starting points. Every trip is then built tailor-made, around your wishes, your pace and your budget.
