Tour Leader - Ayesha
Ayesha Thompson has travelled on several adventures with Greig Smith Travels over the years and has more recently taken on the role of tour leader/guide. She is well travelled and loves being able to share knowledge of the amazing wildlife she has encountered with anyone who will listen!
With a strong love for all varieties of animals, Ayesha has a particular passion for reptiles and amphibians, starting to keep and breed lizards over 20 years ago.
Ayesha is a committee member of the Nottingham branch of the International Herpetological society and has given numerous talks about the herps of Madagascar, Peru, Malaysia and the Galapagos (to name just a few).
You don’t need to be a professional herper, you just need an appreciation for the outdoors, and a love of nature - but biologists, herpetologists also welcome!
There’s something for everyone on these trips, with “life-changing” the words that often sums up the experience!
Local Herpetologist - Abedellah
In the country, you will be teamed up with Abdellah Bouazzah - One of Morocco’s foremost herpetologists and wildlife specialists.
He is THE MAN when it comes to knowing the best places to search!
This means your spot rate will be many times more than what it would be than if you were on your own - with him on board, you will find far more than you could have imagined and your photo reel will be bursting with eye-catching beauties!
Holding a PhD in Conservation Biology/Herpetology from University Ibn Zohir, Abdellah has been running HERP-focused tours in Morocco for many years and has devised the route for this tour.
Joining Abdellah for a day will be a local snake tracker. Together, they’ll explain how to read and follow tracks in the sand and most likely find a few slithering friends along the way!
