A magical moment! - Very well organized safari, hearty meals, comfortable beds under the stars, camel drivers who speak English and off-the-beaten-track routes. A magical moment I highly recommend!

Good Experience - Overnight Camel Safari - We did the overnight tour in the middle of May. As it was the low season, it was just us. Our driver Sagan (who was great) was on time for pick up and took us to his village too for tea which was a nice break on the drive back. We enjoyed our time on the camels and had a good meal followed by sleeping under the stars. Note - if you are expecting the Sahara, this is not the same. The dunes are smaller and more sparse but still it’s a good experience to see the nature. Trotters offered us a room with AC in their guest house for free to wait and take showers before our overnight bus the day after our tour. Very hospitable tour company with respectful and knowledgeable guides. In May, it’s very hot for a desert tour but they do make sure you ride camels in the evening and morning and it does cool down at night.

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!

Highly recommended, we would repeat for sure, very good company. - We have done the excursion with them and everything has been excellent, we had a great time, the guide Rojay has been very friendly and cooks super well. They have explained very interesting things about the desert to us, we have slept under the stars and seen oases. It is a very serious and very good company, they left us a room at the end to shower and everyone has been great, we recommend it 100%. Thank you very much for everything, it has been a fantastic day sleeping in the desert.

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!
