How to Plan for the Perfect Desert Safari
Now, there are many kinds of desert safaris each with its own set of activities. So, it would be better if you spent some time researching the different kinds of safaris that are available. Once you have selected the kind of safari you want to take, plan a time. Do you want to go in the summer or the winter? Summer months are typically hot and you must wear comfortable clothes, carry sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen. The winter months are very pleasant and the temperatures are tolerable. Many desert safaris include activities like camel riding and dune bashing, be warned these activities are not suitable for those who have back problems, pregnant women, and people with heart problems. Once you keep these points in mind, it will not be tough for you to plan your ideal desert safari.
The major highlight of Desert Safari is what we call Dune Bashing, which has you hopping into a 4×4 vehicle that takes you zooming up and down the slopes of the sand dunes. It gives you an adrenaline rush like few other experiences can. If such a rush of adrenaline isn’t your cup of tea, go for a slow and calming camel ride and do get yourself photographed with the camel, lest you hurt its feelings.
There are other thrilling activities as well beckoning you like sand boarding, quad biking or a hot air balloon ride. As the day draws to a close, you are ushered into a camp inspired by the life of the Bedouins. Enjoy a sumptuous BBQ spread here as you reflect on the wonderful time you’ve had.
