More information
The type of vehicles used here are generally closed 4x4. The safari area will depend on the accommodation chosen, although in both cases they cover areas of great importance for the fauna that is adapted to this desert region.
Wildlife approach the dry riverbeds, especially the desert elephants to dig and reach the groundwater. Giraffes, oryx, hyenas, and jumping gazelles roam in search of food, as do the last lions that venture even into the most extreme areas such as the dune area. The animals that inhabit this extreme region are adapted to the hostile climate of the desert.
Safaris take place in the early morning and late afternoon, when the heat is less intense and the animals are more active. Depending on the number of days spent in the area, the camps will program your safaris with the objective that you can carry out the greatest number of activities as well as get to know the area.
