We had an incredible time on our recent desert safari, an absolute thrill from start to finish. The quad biking and sandboarding got the adrenaline pumping, and the dune bashing was hands-down one of the most exciting parts. The evening camp show was lively and full of energy, and it really brought the whole experience together. Huge shoutout to Ranjit, our guide and driver. He was a true professional, super friendly, and clearly knew his way around the dunes like a master. He made sure everything ran smoothly and kept the vibe fun throughout. While the VIP experience had its quirks, it definitely added a layer of comfort. Unlimited food and drinks were nice, and despite a few distractions here and there, the main performances were spot-on and beautifully done. Overall, the safari was packed with fun, adventure, and memorable moments. We left with big smiles and even bigger stories to tell!
