7 Day Active Tours & Trips

What our customers ask about 7 Day Active Tours & Trips

• What destinations are most popular for 7-day adventure tours?

  For a one-week trip, travelers love exploring Morocco's Imperial Cities and the Sahara Desert, seeing the classic India Golden Triangle of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, or going on safari in Tanzania's northern parks like Serengeti and Ngorongoro. These places pack a lot into a week - you get to see incredible landscapes and really experience the local culture. People who've taken these trips tell me they're the perfect length to get a good feel for the destination without feeling rushed.

• What kind of accommodation can I expect on a 7-day adventure tour?

  You'll get a nice mix of places to stay. In Morocco, you might sleep in a traditional riad guesthouse in Chefchaouen one night and a comfy desert camp in Merzouga the next. Thailand offers everything from nice 3-4 star hotels like the Khum Khun Wang Resort to cozy mountain lodges with rice terrace views. In India, you get some really comfortable spots like the Courtyard by Marriott in Agra. One traveler told me: "The accommodations were perfect - being able to adventure during the day but relax in great surroundings in the evenings."

• What wildlife might I encounter on a 7-day adventure safari?

  On Tanzania's northern circuit, you've got a great chance of seeing the major African animals. Travelers regularly spot the "Big Five" - lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and buffalo. One person who just got back told me they saw "around 150+ Lions, 9 Cheetahs, 5 Leopards, thousands of Zebras, and hundreds of Elephants" during their week-long safari. The variety is pretty incredible.

• What's the ideal season for a 7-day adventure tour?

  It really depends where you're going. For Tanzania safaris, aim for June through October - that's when wildlife viewing is best and temperatures hover between 70-85°F (21-29°C). If you're heading to Morocco, spring (March-May) or fall (September-November) are great choices with milder temperatures. These times tend to be most popular with travelers since the weather's good but not too extreme.

• What weather conditions should I prepare for on a 7-day adventure tour?

  Pack for variety! In Morocco, summer days can hit 122°F (50°C) but nights in the Atlas Mountains drop below freezing to 21°F (-6°C). Bali stays tropical with temperatures around 86°F (30°C) and lots of humidity. Northern Thailand is more moderate - usually 77-86°F (25-30°C) in the mountains. One helpful tip from a traveler: "Most Moroccan buildings don't have heating, so bring warm layers for nighttime."

• How much of the day is typically spent traveling between destinations?

  You'll spend a decent amount of time on the road. In Morocco, drives between major stops like Marrakech to Merzouga usually take 4-6 hours. The India Golden Triangle involves 3-4 hour drives between cities. Thailand mountain routes typically mean 2-3 hours between places. As one traveler put it: "While this means some early starts and long drives, it allows us to see a huge amount in the available time."
