Each safari is uniquely different depending on the route taken, and can be 3-14days. The maximum number of people on each trip is 6 and each safari is exclusive to your group. Comfortable camping facilities, excellent cuisine and experienced guides will ensure your well being on your safari. This is a walking safari but riding camels are available when the terrain allows. You do not need to be superbly fit, however a sense of adventure and a little resilience is all you need to enjoy your camel trip. Most travelling is done in the cool of the morning, arriving in camp after 3-4 hour walk. Lunch and a rest in the heat of the day will recharge you for an early evening game walk and sundowner to watch the dusk creeping over the land. A hot shower, an evening around the campfire and a night under the stars with all the exciting sounds of the African night will complete your day.
