Start early
Departing in the morning avoids midday heat and gives you quieter trails and softer light for photos.
Wear grip-ready shoes
Trails can be wet and slippery near the falls—sturdy hiking shoes reduce the risk of slips.
Bring cash for village purchases
Small cafés, local guides, and boat rides typically accept only cash—carry Moroccan dirham.
Respect wildlife
Do not feed the macaques and keep a safe distance—feeding alters behavior and risks bites.
