WOMEN'S STORIES & INSPIRING EXPERIENCES
An African region with an oriental fragrance
The INSPIRING Women's Adventure Trek in Morocco
Since its first edition in 2015, the Trek des Gazelles by Mélanie has established itself as a unique women's adventure in Morocco.
Since then, nearly 28 editions have been held, and more than 2,500 women have had the privilege of experiencing this authentic and refined event.
Between desert, sea and mountains, driven by the discovery of the Kingdom, sisterhood, self-improvement and solidarity, these inspiring women share here some fragments of their adventure and the emotions that marked their journey.
How can you resist a perfect organization?
5 years after my first trek with @trek des gazelles by Mélanie, I wanted to go again, and this time to the desert 🐪
How can I resist such perfect organization, allowing me to completely disconnect? Emotion is at the heart of each edition; letting go, reconnecting with my inner self, and enjoying the present moment.
Thank you to Mélanie, Paul and the whole team for allowing us to have this time for ourselves.

I realize how incredibly lucky I am to be living this adventure.
Today, more than ever, I realize how incredibly lucky I am to be living this adventure!
This commitment! This participation in a better world for sick children!
Beyond self-improvement, the obvious sisterhood, the general kindness, and the pleasure of living in the moment, the worthy cause ultimately convinces us!!

Having left alone, I return with this beautiful gift of sisterhood.
I cherish the chance to have met you.
Having set off alone towards this desert I had dreamed of for so long, with a little apprehension at the last moment, I return with this beautiful gift of sisterhood.
Thanks to perfect organization, we are totally taken care of and this emptiness of mind allows us to fully "experience" the desert.
This trek was rich in meaning: I left my superfluous baggage somewhere in these dunes; I rediscovered my happy memories there.
You welcomed me with my shyness, my reserve, and my modesty: I thank you for that. I will keep you in my heart.

Every day and every night, I think back to that trek.
This experience was simply incredible; I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure and, upon returning, gained a lot of perspective. A break from my life… a few days in a peaceful bubble.
I look with great envy at the trek in the heart of Ifrane in the Middle Atlas, it looks so magnificent…
Every day and every night I think about this trek. Thank you again for this incredible organization!
Hello to Paul, Jean Marc and the others who are so smiling and kind. Take care of yourselves too.

I was “hypnotized” once again
I wanted to thank you and congratulate you once again for organizing this event, the Desert Edition. Even though it was the third time, I was once again "hypnotized" by your team, your facilities, and of course the venue!
These few days are a real break for me, which I need, and which helps me move forward all year long, both personally and professionally.
Well done, you're fantastic!

A true logistical feat that demonstrates professionalism
Experiencing this adventure in the heart of nature was a true privilege, an unexpected gift in the heart of the dunes.
The comfort offered was simply incredible considering the environment: a hot shower every evening, sinks with mirrors, dry toilets, all installed and then dismantled daily, sometimes twice a day.
A true logistical feat that testifies to the professionalism and passion of the team.

A challenge that was close to my heart , and I'm proud to have done it at 66.
This trek – sea edition – was truly magnificent, a parenthesis outside of time, landscapes, wide open spaces, encounters, we stepped out of our comfort zone while being treated like princesses thanks to the incredible organization.
An adventure that will not be forgotten.

A constant concern for the well-being of the participants
This stay will remain an unforgettable experience for me, both for the impeccable quality of the service and for the humanity that accompanied it.
From the very first moments I was touched by the kindness of the organizers and by Mélanie's attentive listening, empathy and constant presence.
She was able to guide each step with a constant concern for the well-being of all participants, creating a warm, reassuring and deeply human atmosphere.
Thank you to Mélanie and the whole team for this extraordinary experience.

A unique, vibrant experience, for oneself and with others.
A break from our busy lives…
A return to the essentials: walking is so simple, and when you do it for children, it's so powerful!
So many wonderful encounters, so many wonderful discoveries, all accompanied by a team that takes great care of each one and works to ensure that this adventure is as eco-responsible as possible.

Mélanie is " kindness for everyone"
I feel so good every time I come back from this GAZELLE TREK BY MÉLANIE….
The fabulous encounters, the smiles, the glances, the exchanges, the fleeting confidences that will remain there in that desert….
These magnificent landscapes, which sometimes leave me speechless, these silences that command respect for beauty…
This country that I love so much, its people, its unique and sometimes violently beautiful colours…
And you, Mélanie, petite woman, we know each other so little, and yet… What a wonderful idea you had to bring these women together, each for their own reasons. Your smile and your gaze, so full of love and kindness for each of us, are wonderful…

This peace and reconnection with ourselves, forever etched in our memories, opens us to the world and all our possibilities. We did it and we are.
Thank you for this gift, thank you to Mélanie and her wonderful team for all the love and happiness you spread to the little ones.
C.
I keep saying that you have to experience this at least once in your life.
I wanted to savor it, to take a step back from this incredible adventure, to see if this well-being and this peace I have felt since returning would diminish or become established.
The response is very positive, this experience has made me stronger, reassured me, not only physically through the 4 days of walking but also psychologically thanks to the warmth, the gentleness, the kindness with which you nourished me throughout this journey.
In addition to all that, I was lucky enough to be accompanied by my close friends and our group was enriched by wonderful encounters.
So thank you all, I will never forget these moments and I keep telling everyone that you have to experience this at least once in your life.
I.
The collective energy that carried us all…
I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful adventure you gave me…
Beyond the exceptional weather events that disrupted your organization, I have not suffered from the situation in any way since I did not come to join you for sightseeing.
Your cause is also ours, that of all the gazelles present...
The collective energy that carried us all together during these 6 days is proof of that.

An exceptional organization, men who work behind the scenes
Thank you for this magical trek in the desert. Magical, yes, because nowhere else have these emotions arisen so unexpectedly.
Exceptional organization, measured management, people working behind the scenes, meals worthy of the finest restaurants, improbable and incredibly powerful encounters of friendship, fabulous yoga/stretching, enchanting nature…
A guide who showed us much more than a path, a soul who helped me rediscover my own in these dunes.

Unique moments in life that I will remember for a long time.
Unique moments in life that I will remember for a long time, sincere friendships strengthened and now indestructible, and strangers brought together to live a human adventure that belongs only to us and that now connects us despite the distance, the improbability of meeting, and the different horizons…
We will definitely see each other again!

You might think that you only see the best parts in photos, but everything is really real
I participated in the Mer 2024 edition. You might think that you only see the best parts in the photos and videos, but everything is really real!
Thank you Mélanie and the whole team, you're the best! The organization is incredible, we just let ourselves be carried away, we discover magnificent places and we meet wonderful people.
I fully intend to return for another edition.

Since then, I feel alive and empowered
A quote from Oscar Wilde resonated with me after this wonderful trek along the Moroccan coast:
“To live is the rarest thing. Most people just exist.
“Thank you to Mélanie and everyone around her who made this adventure possible. I had an unforgettable time with my friends.”.
Since this pause in time, I feel reconnected with myself, serene, alive and empowered. What a pleasant feeling!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
C.
An authentic and powerful interlude
As for the trek itself, it was exceptional: an adventure that was both sporting and profoundly human, rich in emotions, encounters and discoveries.
This trip will remain etched in my memory for a long time.
An enchanting, authentic and powerful interlude, where one feels simultaneously supported, respected and amazed.
