Excellent organization - It was an incredible experience! We slept under the stars in comfortable beds with clean and warm covers, we had a delicious dinner cooked from the guys on the place. We saw the sunset and the day after we saw the sunrise while drinking fresh made Chai and we had a very good breakfast. I did already this Safari many years ago with another agency but The Trotters agency is way much better in organization and dedication. The price was totally fair.

A once in a lifetime experience! - Very customisable trips, you can pick whatever you want! I did a bit of everything and absolutely loved it. Jeep sightseeing, camel riding, dinner by the fire, sleeping under the stars and heading out the next morning. Highly recommend this group of kindhearted individuals who do an amazing job.

Do not miss this! - Excellent would be an understatement for the Safari. I can recommend this Safari to anyone who are travelling solo. It would be a lifetime experience sleeping under the stars in the open desert dunes. The jeep safari was great too. You could experience the real culture of people in the desert. The organizers took very good care of everyone. Provided with ample water and food. They also speak English. Overall an amazing experience I would cherish for a lifetime.

Totally recommended! - 100% recommended experience! They adapted to our needs and changed the camel ride for the jeep ride. Rojay is a wonderful guide, he has always lived there and explained to us what life in the desert is like, in addition to cooking deliciously!

Trotters desert safari experience - Recently finished my desert camping with trotters today, had to say it was one of the best experience I ever had, from the divine sunset you get to see in the dunes along with a camel ride was so beautiful, then later we had snacks and had our dinner which was cooked in the desert by the trotters team, it was delicious, and to finish it of we did star gazing while sleeping in the middle of the desert, it was literal chills, and ended our tour with the beautiful sunrise from the sand dunes. The team took really good care of us, and veere tourist friendly, you can visit trotters in jaisalmer if you ever wish for desert safari, you will not regret the memories you will make there.

Amazing Experience (recommend for everyone) - I discovered the joy of desert exploration with Trotters' camel safari. The thrill I felt as I ride atop gentle camels through the golden sands, guided by experienced experts. Watching the sunset paint the sky with vibrant colors as I soak in the tranquility of the desert. Every moment is filled with wonder and safety, ensuring a memorable adventure for all. With breathtaking views and skilled guides, this experience is perfect for anyone looking to make unforgettable memories in the heart of the desert. I absolutely loved the experience♥️

Holi in Jaisalmer - Holi in Jaisalmer 2024, organized by Trotters, was an amazing experience for all of us. We began with a tour of the city during the Holi celebration, led by a knowledgeable local guide in the morning. Later, we enjoyed a camel ride in the desert, accompanied by mesmerizing gypsy performances, and culminated the day by sleeping under the stars. Everything was well-organized and seamless. The hospitality extended by everyone involved was truly heartwarming. I highly recommend this global experience to tourists for the next Holi fest. Thank you, Trotters, for an unforgettable adventure!

Authentic desert tour - The experience with Kangar, our camel keeper, has been very authentic and he has been very attentive to us. We took the overnight tour from 6:30 in the morning, but we had not taken into account that in the desert it is too hot after eating. We had a lot of time to rest (from 12:00 to 16:30) in Kangar village with his family. Thank goodness he offered us a shower! The children of the town came to see us and the worst thing was when they asked us for money. They wanted to play but they didn't speak English and we couldn't communicate :-( Despite this moment, everything was very nice and we felt very welcome. Afterwards, the night in the dunes was simply magical! When we returned we saw all the tourist towns on the road where the other groups stay. It seems to me that our experience was much more authentic!
