Get ready for the highlight of your Desert Safari: an off-road adventure into the wild dunes of Erg Chigaga. Your 4×4 will take you through remote desert landscapes to your luxury nomadic camp, where you’ll be welcomed with traditional mint tea and Berber hospitality. Ride camels through the tall dunes at sunset, then gather around the campfire for dinner accompanied by Berber music beneath a sky lit by countless stars.
