Differences between packages
Shared packages use a meeting point and a standard camp. VIP and private options improve comfort and flexibility. Compare them side by side on the packages page.
How to compare fairly
Ask for the inclusions in writing and the final price in AED. Use our booking checklist to make sure nothing is missed.
Questions on a specific package? Message us.
Questions about drinks and food
Ask whether soft drinks, tea, coffee and water are unlimited, and what the dinner menu covers. Vegetarian, vegan and allergy-friendly options should be confirmed in advance. Alcohol is typically not part of standard packages, so ask directly if it matters to you.
Photos and keepsakes
Many camps offer paid photo packages or souvenirs. You are never obliged to buy, and your own phone photos are free. Decide your budget beforehand so you are not caught out by an impulse purchase.
Children and group pricing
Child prices, infants and family groups are handled differently by package. Share ages when you enquire so the total is accurate from the start.
How we list inclusions
Each package card on our packages page lists the main inclusions. If something is unclear, ask us; we would rather answer than have you guess. You can also compare typical experiences in our evening safari guide.
