Megan Lower
I am the director of Wanderlust Voyages and the primary point of contact for travelers. I view travel as a way to expand your world view, learning about different cultures and immersing yourself in the local experience. I'm not a fan of traveling halfway around the world (or even just across the nearest border) just to stay in familiar hotels, eat familiar food, and try to go about the cities/towns the way you would at home. Travel is about enjoying new destinations and experiences to their fullest, which means visiting local restaurants, unique accommodations, and, when possible, talking to local residents.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"All of Morocco. From Tangier to the Sahara to Marrakech, and everything in between. Whether you are looking for luxury, adventure, history, or any combination thereof, we can put together the perfect itinerary for you. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"I am a lawyer-turned-travel-expert, a journey that began with my first trip to the Sahara Desert. I was so enchanted with Morocco, and the desert region in particular, that I wanted to share it with everyone. This started the conversation with my husband, Belghit (who was born in nearby Rissani), about how we could accomplish bringing friends, family, anyone and everyone to explore the wonders of Morocco. Since then, I dove headfirst into the travel business, expanding my knowledge of both the industry and Morocco. I've already been there more times than I can count, and each time I go, I visit more accommodations, try out new activities, and seek to increase my knowledge of the country."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Oh, so many... From transportation adventures to interactions with wild animals to weather failing to cooperate, there are always things that can make travel a unique experience. However, one of the most eye-opening and unique experiences was part of that first trip to the Sahara. I went to visit the home where Belghit grew up. It was a mud-brick house part of an ancient ksar that dates back to the 1700s. Making our way through the winding path inside, cool in the dark away from the bright sun, passing by old mule stalls, a well that once served as their primary source of water, and climbing up the winding steps to bare mud rooms, each opening into a central courtyard. The kitchen still contained a daubed mud oven for baking bread and no running water. It looked like something that you would expect to be from centuries past, not a mere two decades. And yet, that's how Belghit grew up, running down the road to his family's date farm. It was an incredible experience, very eye-opening, and one I will never forget."

Megan arranged a superb tour which was made even better (if even possible) by arranging Hamid to be our driver. What a professional, knowledgeable, kind, proud Berber who answered all our questions and shared the love of his culture. We shared many laughs together. The three of us (all seasoned mature travelers) felt safe and had a terrific time. We highly recommend:
1. the Sahara glamping at Riad Madu and sunset camel riding with Barack and Omar,
2. the climb up the gorge in Atlas... read more

This trip and Megan fat exceeded my expectations (and they were high). Hamid was more than just our driver, he was our guide, often stopping along the way to show us cool things. There are so many wonderful things about this trip, it’s hard to pick. The mosque is Casablanca with all its history. Fes, with its amazing artisans. The monkey forest. The hot air balloon ride. Riding camels in the Sahara Desert for sunrise and sunset. We stayed in some of the most amazing riads that truly... read more

We had the experience of a lifetime in Morocco. Megan put together a fantastic trip plan and ensured our satisfaction with every element. The highlights for me were the city of Chefchaouen and the Sahara, although our stay in Marrakech at Es Saadi Palace was pretty sweet and made for a perfect ending to the perfect trip.
Unforgettable moments included having tea with a Berber nomad woman named Fatima while on the road to Merzouga as well as meeting and sharing a meal with a Berber family.... read more

We enjoyed a 10 day private tour planned by Megan and the tour with Hassan Amraoui. The very best combo! The perfect plan was pulled together by Megan and the best driver Hassan made for a fabulous vacation. We were 2 friends meeting in Morocco for a girls trip to explore the country, and from cities to hammams, to sand dunes and tents, we enjoyed every single thing. High points were definitely sand dunes and the luxury camping at Wanderlust Camp, and we loved Marrakech! We were even sad... read more

What a wonderful, wonderful trip we had in Morocco. While we only had three nights, we really made the most of it and our wonderful guide was so great at ensuring we got where we were supposed to both safely as well as giving us a ton of information and history. Our guide was Ahmed Oussidi and he really was terrific. In Chefchouen we stayed at the darling Dar Laman riad and just loved it. Our room was so comfortable and the deck upstairs was a perfect place to unwind after a long day. In Fes... read more

We had a private, two-person tour. We had a single driver for the whole trip, and specialty guides in each place. Everything was taken care of. Our trip was Casablanca->Volubilis->Fes->Rabat->Marrakech. First, our driver Mohamed, was such a decent and mature young man who drove us around the city and was available whenever we needed him. He was such good company, especially on the drives between cities. Even after the trip, we miss him. Our guide in Volubilis was very knowledgeable. We... read more

I am so happy we used kimkim to plan our trip to Morocco -- and even happier that kimkim paired us with Megan. She was extremely responsive and wonderful to work with.

Hamid was the absolute highlight of the trip. A national treasure. He is so kind and funny and knowledgeable and has a true love for his country. We only had one day booked in the dessert and he really wanted us to try Berber pizza but we weren't going to have time. He surprised us by picking up a pizza before he picked us up from the Sahara then at our lunch stop he paid the restaurant to heat it up. It was so delicious and such a special experience. If we could give him 10000/10 we... read more

The trip overall was fantastic! Firstly, our guide Ibrahim was very accommodating - he made a special effort to find our group vegetarian food for all meals. He was very skilled at working with the locals at each location to make sure we were taken care of. In addition, our transportation between locations was very comfortable. The vans we used had wifi and were just generally comfortable to travel in.
Secondly, the activities were engaging and fun. In particular, our group loved the... read more
Hi Aarti,
Thank you so much! I especially like hearing that our staff on the ground is doing well. I am sorry that Ouarzazate is not quite up to snuff, but I'm afraid that city is so limited. However, I'm glad the rest was able to make up for it!
Best,
Megan
