The Best Private Trips to Book For Your Geography Class

Few nations are as geographically diverse as Morocco, making it the perfect destination to explore multiple ecosystems in just one trip. Our comprehensive 11-day itinerary – which can be moulded to your needs – goes from the more Mediterranean climate of northern cities like Casablanca, Chefchaouen and Fes, then south into the heart of the Sahara Desert, before winding up to the heights of the Atlas Mountains, ending in Marrakech. This gives students the chance to explore the drastically different ecosystems of desert, mountain and coast, as well as the human geography that forms around them, be it in remote indigenous villages or culturally and historically rich cities. You’ll get a stargazing experience around the campfire of our Sahara desert camp, as well as encounters with locals and guided hikes (and a camel ride) across some of the country’s most significant landscapes.

Like Morocco, Costa Rica is an extremely biodiverse country, but you could argue that it’s even more interesting. It’s home to hundreds of volcanoes – lying close to the intersection of four tectonic plates – and surrounding them are a range of fascinating rainforests, jungles and high-altitude cloud forests, and that’s before you consider the country’s gorgeous tropical coast. Our eight-day itinerary takes in three majorly different landscapes, starting with Arenal Volcano National Park. Our hotel in Arenal is full of natural hot springs, from which you can soak in warm waters while staring at the giant volcano acting as its source of energy. You’ll explore more hot springs, hike to a waterfall and go sloth-spotting in the forest. From there it’s up into mountainous Monteverde, where you’ll learn about Costa Rican cuisine and go on a nighttime cloud forest trek in search of howler monkeys and pumas. Our final destination is the laid-back Pacific surf town of Tamarindo – the perfect place to visualise wave action, or explore the tropical coastline via ATVs.
