Tell us your needs and we will suggest the best option.
Getting in and out of vehicles
4x4s are higher than normal cars, and getting in and out can be difficult. Tell us about mobility needs so the driver can help. Private vehicles make it easier because you are not waiting with a large group.
Camp comfort
Seating at camp is usually low. Ask for a chair or firmer seat when you arrive. Walking on soft sand is tiring, so choose a spot close to the stage and the dining area.
Pacing the evening
Rest during the afternoon, drink water and pick a gentle drive. Skip activities that feel too demanding, such as sandboarding.
