      About this trip

      Welcome to The Upper Klamath! 

      Multi-Sport Rafting Safari combined with Wilderness Medicine CME


      3 Day Luxury Camping Adventure + 1 full day Wilderness Medicine Seminar 


      An ultra-comfortable ‘safari style’ backcountry camp.


      Combine rafting big summer flows down rapids that are over a football field long, an ultra-comfortable ‘safari style’ backcountry camp (think glamping), and options for mountain biking, running, inflatable kayaking, and fly fishing. The Upper Klamath cuts a steep wilderness canyon through the Cascades of Southern Oregon and is one of the finest and most exciting class-IV+ rivers in the West. This is a uniquely action packed and comfortable 2 or 3 day luxury camping adventure – there is no other trip like it in the United States.

      This trip can be very active or more relaxed – it’s up to you! It is perfect for experienced and first time paddlers (and for those who find regular camping not to be their cup of tea).


      Options for mountain biking, running, inflatable kayaking, and fly fishing...

      I had a great time with Ari and Roxanne getting my WFR certification. They were so incredibly experienced, knowledgeable and fun. They both were patient and did a great job communicating. When our venue fell through (where we were doing our course work) they quickly found another place and our learning were barley interrupted. I am really looking forward to using Med treks again.

      An outstanding adventure of a lifetime! Everything was well-planned our guides for our hiking excursions were phenomenal. Lodging and food choices were top-notch! I’m looking forward to traveling again with MedTreks International this summer. Thank you for an amazing experience.

      This was a fantastic experience, we saw Morocco edge to edge: from the 'new' in Casablanca, the old and older in Fes and Marrakech, camels in the Sahara, hiking in the Atlas Mountains, and ending with the gorgeous Essaouira shore. You don't have to be in the medical field to join in a MedTreks adventure! Ari is an easygoing and FUN leader who I highly recommend!

      Words cannot describe how amazing my time on the Morocco CME Hiking and Cultural tour was and I do not have the literary skill to attempt such a feat! From an amazing group to exploring the vast old mediinas and learning about their intricate history from our personal guide Haddou to hiking in the Atlas mountains and experiencing the sunset, stars, and sunrise in the Sahara to walking in the ocean in Essouria and everything inbetween, it was a wonder and priveledge to learn about the history and people of Morocco, especially being welcomed in to the home of a Berber family! And don't forget the cultural experience of the amazing cuisine, (including an optional cooking class!) and the luxury accomodations across the beautiful and welcoming country! I cannot recommend Medtreks enough and many thanks to Ari and her team for the dedication and ceaseless work giving us such an amazing experience! On to the next trip!

      Cannot say enough amazing things about Ari and the MedTreks International experience!! I travelled to Morocco in November on a MedTreks trip and I am still so blown away reflecting on not only our travels, but the incredible people I met along the way, and the heart behind this company. I'll start by saying WOW ~ the trip was incredible!! Ari is an exceptional guide and curated the most thoughtful and well-rounded trip. I truly felt immersed in the culture and learned so much about Morocco. It is a country so unique and unlike anywhere I've ever traveled before. Trip highlights were the sunset camel ride in the Sahara, a tagine cooking class, and of course the hamam spa day! All of the food was EXCELLENT, and our accommodations were fantastic. We were given a thorough itinerary in advance, had two awesome locals guiding us through the country, visited the most amazing spots, and had several intimate cultural experiences, for example, having lunch with the Nomadic Berber people in their home. I highly recommend to all considering - all you have to do is show up and be ready for awe and wonder. I also want to mention - MedTreks seems to attract really amazing individuals for their trips - it was so fun getting to know each person in our group which made the experience that much better. Having previously taken group trips, this community felt especially connected and I only have positive things to say about the experience!! I think everyone drawn to MedTreks has a heart for adventure, life-long learning, and meaningful connection. MedTreks has an unbelievable depth of knowledge having run tours worldwide for some 40 years now - I was blown away in conversation with Ari and with other travelers who have been on a trip with them in past. To hear about the trip planning and seriously INCREDIBLE experiences they coordinate inspires me to do all my travels with them!! Learning more about the positive impact of the trips on local cultures and the MedTreks foundation in Kenya is also so cool. It feels like this company is a hidden gem putting together once in a lifetime moments for people.
