Desert Safari Abu Dhabi - Simply Superb

Published on Jan, 2025

Today my family and I went on a simply fantastic safari with SandGazelle. Marly our driver and guide was brilliant, catering for us all. During the Dune bashing he started gently by making sure my granddaughter Lily aged 2 was happy after she started cheering and going 'wheeeee' we went onto the more exhilarating dunes which she simply loved. The camel photo session was great and Marly is a natural photographer, more dune bashing, then on to the camp. The camp is so well set up and organised, the show is brilliant involving the audience and the food is excellent. There are several activities included with the package, dune surfing, camel riding, dressing up in traditional arab gear, photo sessions with a hawk, henna tattoos, shisha. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. A truly really great experience, one we will most definitely repeat. Thank you all especially Marly.

100% satisfied

We were taken care by very friendly and knowledgeable crews. The program was full of exiting activities. The kids enjoyed the dune drift experience the best.

Best dune bashing and night ever!

Great fun, especially going with friends or family. Doing something adrenaline rushing at first and then ending the night with an amazing BBQ can’t be beaten anywhere else.
