The camp is the second half of your safari, after the dunes. Here is what you will find.
Arrival
You are welcomed with tea, coffee or dates, then shown to low seating around a stage and fire pit.
Activities
- Camel rides
- Henna and costumes
- Sandboarding nearby
Dinner and shows
A BBQ buffet is served, then live shows begin.
Facilities
Toilets and basic amenities are available. VIP camps offer an upgraded setting. See VIP safari.
Tips
Bring a light jacket for winter evenings and keep valuables with you.
The atmosphere
String lights, rugs and low cushions create a relaxed, welcoming feel. Music plays, smoke from the grill drifts across the camp and the sky darkens above you. It is lively but not rushed.
Practical details
- Sand is everywhere, so wear shoes you can shake out
- Toilets are basic but available
- Keep valuables with you rather than in the vehicle
Standard camp vs VIP camp
A standard camp is social and busy with shared seating. A VIP camp offers a more refined setting. Compare both in our VIP safari guide.
Enjoy it fully
Join in the activities, try the food, watch the shows and take your time. If the stars appeal to you, think about an overnight stay. Contact us with questions, and see the package list.
