Dune bashing, driving up and down the dunes, is the highlight of the evening safari for many guests. Done the right way, it is both fun and safe.
What we do
- Licensed drivers with years on these dunes
- Cars checked every morning, and a seat belt for every seat
- A short safety briefing before we set off, and a radio link to the camp
- No more than six guests per car
What you do
Keep your seat belt on all the way, hold the side handle and keep your phone in your pocket on the slopes. If you feel uncomfortable, tell the driver straight away; he will slow down or stop.
Who should skip it
We do not recommend it for pregnant guests, anyone with back or neck problems, children under 3, or anyone who should avoid strong jolts for any reason. They are our guests too: we arrange a car that takes a quiet road to the camp, and they enjoy the sunset, dinner and shows in full.
Motion sickness
Sit in the front seat if you can, look at the horizon and avoid a heavy meal before the trip. Ask the driver to keep the pace gentle from the start.
