Tour overview

Reach the red dunes before first light

Sunrise is the anchor for this itinerary. The team works back from first light on your travel date to plan when to leave your hotel and where to place the photo stop. Choose a dawn safari or ask how a buggy ride can fit around it.

What to expect

The itinerary below is a guide. Your confirmation includes the agreed pickup and activity arrangements.

  1. Confirm your hotel the day before

    Ask for the exact pickup time and lobby meeting point. Build in time to reach the hotel entrance before the vehicle arrives.

  2. Drive out to the dunes

    The route and stopping point depend on conditions. Tell the team if you are travelling primarily to photograph the horizon.

  3. Watch first light or add buggy time

    On a buggy combination, confirm whether driving or the photo stop comes first and how much time is planned for each.

  4. Plan the return

    Share your checkout or onward departure time. If an early start is impractical, compare the later private morning safari.
