Very good, highly recommended excursion into the desert

This morning tour into the desert was beautiful and is highly recommended! Nazir was a great, friendly, and competent guide who showed and explained many things to me. As promised, we also spotted many animals. The breakfast at Al Maha was top-notch. The view was also outstanding and the staff was accommodating. Nazir drove well and safely and also took nice photos. Thank you.

Morning tour with Thapelo

A beautiful experience. Delicious breakfast in a very nice desert camp, followed by wildlife observations (oryx, sand gazelles and mountain gazelles). The desert is impressive. Thapelo guided us through the day and delighted with South African charm. The staff at the camp were very friendly and there was even an impromptu birthday serenade and a birthday cake. Thanks for the great day!

An ecofriendly desert foray with wildlife

Our Guide. was very knowledgeable and we really did get to see the wildlife. As they feed the oryx at a certain time of day you’re almost bound to see these as well as camels and two species of gazelle. The breakfast in the oasis was an incredible experience with delicious food

Desert education and fun

What a fun and educational experience! Haider was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging and the falconing demonstrations were exhilarating. The breakfast was a beautifully authentic and delicious experience. And, being a classic car enthusiast, the Land Rover drive was enchanting.
