Bryan_D, Apr 2024

Excellent, highly recommend! They were flexible with my pickup and drop off times and we were abundantly provided for!

James is great. Highly...

Priyamvada_T, Mar 2024

James is great. Highly recommend the tour. The camel ride to the dunes was fun. The highlight was sleeping in the desert under the stars.

Great Experience!

Jayden_W, Feb 2024

Beautiful safari out in the desert with a great view of the stars. The tour guides were very helpful, especially James. James provided everything I asked for and even went out of his way to grab a few extra drinks for me. The dunes were grande and sleeping outside was a great experience and surprisingly more comfortable than expected. I would recommend adding this to your list of things to do when visiting Jaisalmer.

Wonderful stay with nature

Kalyanmadhuri_V, Aug 2023

Superb experience under sky with beautiful stars. We are fortunate to come on full moon time. It was wonderful experiencing family time staying with nature. We went with whole family including our elderly parents and small kids total of 13. We all had ride on camels walking into desert. The team who accompanied us are very nice and friendly.They prepared tasty food and took care of us during the whole stay. James & Shokat Ali are the one who arranged us all of this. Thank you both.

Billion stars, billion laughs

AJ_A, Feb 2023

Sameer and Ganesh were absolutely fantastic guides, they cooked us some of the best food we had in India and made us laugh. They went out of their way to make it a wonderful experience for us that we will never forget.

Something different

Dacian_M, Dec 2021

When you visit Jaisalmer, there are many desert safari offers but most of them are in a camp shared with many other people. This is something different and it’s definitely worth trying. Riding camels at sunset and sunrise, tasting delicious local food cooked under your eyes and of course, cherry on the top, sleeping under a billion stars. Special thanks to Sameer and the crew for an authentic, full of fun experience and for accommodating all our needs.

Wonderful Tour into the desert

Michael B, Jan 2019

Mystic Camel Safari is a nice place to wait until the tour starts with a jeep into the desert. Then the perfectly organized trip goes on with well groomed camels. At night I've got the experience of an open fire, delicious food and billions of stars.

increible noche en el desierto

VictorFlores, Feb 2024

Fue una increible experiencia James, nuestro guia/conductor/chef, nos sorprendio con su cariño por lo que hace y nos compartio lo que es vivir en el desierto. La comida excelente, y la atencion fue mas de lo que imaginamos Desde el viaje en jeep, la ruta en camello y la noche en el desierto al aire libre es algo que vale la pena vivir, no pasamos frio gracias a la preparacion de cobija que nos dejaron, y el desayuno fue bueno y abundante. Esperamos que mas gente visite esta experiencia

Un souvenir inoubliable que je vous recommande

Jeremie_B, Feb 2023

Le chauffeur est venu me chercher à mon hôtel, ensuite rapide briefing puis départ en Jeep (je suis le seul participant) La voiture quitte la ville, le chauffeur est sympathique et au petit soin pour moi Premier arrêt : La cité abandonnée de Kuldhara Quelques maisons ont été reconstruites pour nous donner un aperçu de ce que pouvait être le village à l’époque. Même vide, on arrive bien à s’imaginer comment devait s’organiser la vie quotidienne des occupants. Les innombrables ruines tout autour nous laissent, quant à elles, imaginer l’immense étendue que pouvait avoir la cité. Retour en jeep, les paysages changent, nous croisons beaucoup de vaches, de brebis et de chèvres, dont nous forçons certaines fois le passage. Le second arrêt sera pour un lac. L’endroit est très beau et paisible Nous reprenons la route, nous croisons quelques huttes faites de terres et coiffées de pailles, des enfants nous font de grands gestes en guise de bonjour. 3ème et dernier arrêt devant 3 dromadaires couchés paisiblement. Il y a également 2 chameliers et un touriste qui semblent nous attendre. Je comprends vite que le reste du trajet ne sera plus en voiture mais à dos de dromadaires. Nous suivons le sillage de la sinueuse route faisant défilé devant mes yeux émerveillés de superbes paysages où les animaux sont rois, faisant place peu à peu à un autre souverain : le sable. Nous arrivons à temps au campement pour admirer le coucher du soleil Nous sommes au milieu de nulle part, du sable et quelques bosquets à perte de vue ! C’est splendide ! 2 chiens qui dormaient dans les dunes viennent m’accueillir Les 2 chameliers ne perdent pas de temps : ils préparent le feu pour le repas du soir. La nuit tombe plus vite ici puisque les seules lumières que nous avons proviennent uniquement du feu sous la marmite et des lampes frontales de nos 2 cuisiniers improvisés. Nous dégustons tous les 4 notre festin (riz safrané, dal... etc.) le tout accompagné de naans encore chauds Après avoir fait les lits personne ne se fait prier pour aller se coucher et pouvoir enfin se délecter de la constellation d’étoiles dans le ciel au-dessus de nous. La nuit fut fraîche et c’est le corps emmitouflé dans ma couette et la tête empaquetée dans ma capuche que je découvre au petit matin le ciel se teinter de rose. Tout le monde se lève petit à petit soit par la luminosité chaude du soleil soit par l’odeur du chai qui boue sur le feu. En mangeant mon copieux petit-déjeuner composé de nouilles épicées, de blés sucrés, de fruits, de pains toastés et quelques cookies, je me délecte du spectacle des oiseaux peu farouches qui viennent picorer autour de nous. Je m’éloigne un peu pour faire une ultime balade dans les dunes avec en face de moi une envolée de corneilles, un des chiens dormants et la fumée s’échappant du camp. Le chauffeur de la jeep me fait signe au loin, il est l’heure de partir Cette première escapade dans le désert restera un souvenir inoubliable que je vous conseille vivement Les organisateurs sont très gentils et tout est fait pour notre confort.
