This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to connect with nature.

A unique guided journey into a remote conservation area filled with desert life.

The two rustic overnight camps make the most of sleeping under the breathtaking desert sky. The five sleeping platforms are raised off the ground to ensure that guests are safe and comfortable, while having the unparalleled experience of falling asleep to the night sounds of the wilderness under a starry sky.
