FAMILY-FRIENDLY BOUTIQUE HOTEL
Lying in the serene Palmeraie just outside of Marrakech, Jnane Tamsna is a beautifully designed, family-friendly boutique hotel.
A unique boutique hotel set in a lush nine-acre garden at the heart of a vast palm oasis, Jnane Tamsna blends the capacity and amenities of a hotel with the intimacy and service of a fine private home. The 24 light and airy bedrooms are scattered between five houses, each with their own pool and spacious veranda overlooking the gardens. Interiors are decorated in a Moorish style with a blend of Moroccan crafts, Middle Eastern furnishings and colourful African textiles.
Fish pastilla, chicken tagine and other dishes inspired by Morocco’s rich culinary heritage are prepared using produce from the organic gardens. You can even learn how to prepare local dishes yourself on one of the hotel’s popular cooking classes. Otherwise, there are camel and bike rides to enjoy in the surrounding palm grove, as well as sidecar tours of the city and its outskirts.
Wandering the gardens, you’ll find five swimming pools, a hamman and a clay tennis court where you can enjoy a friendly match with the hotel’s coach, Jamal. Calligraphy and magic classes promise fun afternoons for children.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
Jonny took the time to discuss all the options with us and tailored every detail to our wishes. He suggested thoughtful add-ons, arranged excellent guides, and created a brilliant itinerary packed with maps, tips, and all the information we needed for exploring the two countries we visited. An absolute trip of a lifetime to Argentina and Brazil.
