Before booking

Which option to choose

01

What the dinner trip adds

After the dune drive, the trip continues at a camp for a meal and the show. Check the option you book: an early slot may include lunch instead of dinner. Read the slot description before paying.

02

What changes without dinner

The short safari focuses on the 4x4 ride and sandboarding. You head back without staying overnight or setting aside a block for the camp meal. If price decides it, compare the final amount for the same date.

03

How to choose if language matters

Both safaris run in English, and so does the combo, so language will not settle the choice. Compare duration, dinner and the final price for your date.
