Why Morocco
Why South African travellers love Morocco.
South African travellers come to Morocco for the contrast and the closeness: imperial cities, the Sahara, the Atlas mountains and the Atlantic coast, all in one welcoming country where a private trip turns a long-held dream into an easy, well-run reality.
Getting there
Flights from South Africa
Connect via Addis Ababa, a Gulf hub or a European city into Casablanca; allow roughly 14–18 hours including the layover.
Best arrival airports: Casablanca (CMN). We meet every guest in arrivals and drive you door to door — see airport transfers.
Do you need a visa?
South African passport holders enter Morocco visa-free for stays of up to 90 days for tourism. No advance visa is required — bring a passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival.
Time difference
Morocco is about 2 hours behind South Africa's standard time (Morocco has kept UTC+0 all year since September 2026; add an hour when South Africa is on summer time).
When to go
The best time to visit.
March–May and September–November are ideal across most of Morocco — warm days, cool evenings, and the best light for the medinas, coast and desert. The Sahara is best October–April; the Atlas peaks hold snow into spring.
