Zaer Forest is near Rabat, which is also just a few kilometers from Casablanca. Trekking Morocco can present you with hundreds of different choices. You have Jbel Toubkal, M'Goun, and other high altitude stops.These trekking experiences are for someone who doesn't mind traveling for days, camping out, and experiencing nature. The longer trekking experiences in the High Atlas Mountains are rewarding, but as a birdwatcher you might consider them to be too long.
You might instead appreciate a day trek to the Zaer Forest. It is filled with Double Spurred Francolins and Black headed Bush Shrikes among other birds.
Trips into the Zaer Forest are for during the day, with short car rides and a nice trek to a great lunch location. There are also circular style treks where you start off at one point, only to return there after going through the forest. Charming villages, verdant valleys, and cork oaks await you on a trek through Zaer Forest.
Gorges in the area provide you with more greenery and places to find the unique birds of Morocco. The gorges in Zaer Forest can be lined with water to help grow the plants of the region, giving food to the birds. North of Sidi Bettache is the most fruitful area for birdwatchers. There is a hunting lodge in Sidi Yahya Zaer to stay at while on your trek.
Other birds to spot while trekking Morocco include spotted flycatchers, larks, white storks, and black shoulders kites. We already mentioned one species that is only found in Morocco: the Double Spurred Francolins.
Morocco is more than just an African country sitting on the Atlantic and Mediterranean. It is a country filled with culture and beauty. Exploring this beauty through the Zaer Forest is just one way to trek Morocco. The experience will be a pleasant one for bird lovers.
For individuals looking for more than birds or longer hikes the High Atlas trekking tours will allow for that. The High Atlas Mountains contain villages uncharted on any map. Birds, plants, and the ever elusive Barbary Monkey can be found in the High Atlas region. Allow yourself to experience the wonders that make up Morocco. Visit more than just Zaer Forest.
The Rif Mountains present more valleys, waterfalls, and mountain peaks to enjoy. In this region of Morocco you can expect to see birds on the beaches, which differ from the forested birds. There are also a number of bio reserves in the Rif Mountains and throughout Morocco. These parks provide birdwatchers with a number of species to sit and waste an entire afternoon or day on.
