Fantastic experience

We wanted to experience a private night in the middle of the desert and we were not disappointed. Jacqueline the manager is very friendly and makes sure everything is perfect. Azeem is very attentive, the food is excellent, the camp very well maintained (we even had a “bathroom” under the stars) and the location is just beautiful - watching the sunset on a sand dune and the milky way in a sky full of stars is just breathtaking. If you’re looking for a truly authentic experience, this is the place to go.
