Christmas Safari 2023

Come and join us for the renowned Thar Camel Christmas Safari. What better way to spend Christmas Eve than sleeping under the stars (you may even see Santa and Rudolf). Wholesome food, mineral/filtered water and warm clean bedrolls are provided throughout the safari and on the evening of the 24th December there will be a starry party night with traditional folk music and dance and our special Thar Christmas Dinner. The party will take place on the beautiful sand dunes 50 km outside of Jaisalmer in a guaranteed tourist-free area.

You can join the Christmas Safari as it best fits in with your travels as the individual groups only meet up for the Christmas Festivities, so all you have to do is decide on the length of your tour: Overnight, 2 Days-1 Night, 3 Days-2 Nights – and anything beyond; just contact us for details and prices.
