Service overview
What to Expect
The Morning Desert Safari focuses on the open desert rather than the evening camp programme. It is a good choice for travellers with afternoon plans and for guests who prefer a shorter experience. Early pickup can improve the chance of softer light, but sunrise itself cannot be guaranteed.

Children, Health and Safety
Child and age information
Children aged three years or younger can join a desert safari free of charge. Guests older than three years are charged the regular adult package price. Please provide each child’s correct age and request any required child seat before booking.
Safety information
Dune bashing is not suitable for pregnant guests, guests with serious back or neck conditions, significant heart conditions, recent surgery or another condition affected by sudden vehicle movement. Disclose relevant conditions before booking. A direct camp transfer may be requested, subject to availability. Seek advice from a qualified medical professional if unsure.
Payment, Confirmation and Cancellation
Payment and confirmation
Advance payment is not normally required for a standard desert safari booking with fewer than 10 guests, although availability and payment arrangements must be confirmed through WhatsApp. Groups of 10 or more require a 50% advance. Cash, card, bank transfer, secure payment link or another available arrangement may be confirmed directly. Card details are never collected on this website.
Cancellation and refund
Cancel through WhatsApp at least five hours before the confirmed pickup time for a full refund of the amount paid. Cancellations received less than five hours before pickup qualify for a 50% refund; the remaining 50% is a late-cancellation charge. Processing time depends on the payment provider.
