Eco-adventure company, Sand Sherpa, has introduced an all-inclusive overnight camping option in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve
DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, October 19, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Eco-adventure company, Sand Sherpa, which operates overnight camps in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, has introduced an all-inclusive overnight option that includes return transfers from the DDCR gate to the camp, bush meals, morning and evening nature walks and bedding.
Sand Sherpa is the only operator in the wilderness area of the 225-square-kilometre reserve, which has been closed to the general public for more than 20 years. Adventurers stay in adapted ex-military trailers stationed at private locations throughout undulating dunes and amidst trees, but within easy access to bathroom facilities and the main camp area, where dinner and breakfast are served.
Sand Sherpa’s adventures are popular with residents, visitors, corporate groups and schools. The company has developed its own proprietary “Nomad Ways” programme of activities that are incorporated into trips and tailored itineraries for participants. This brings past skills, values and stories into each camp.
The company also starts the new season with an exciting collaboration with Freedom Overland, bringing two specially prepared Unimogs into camp. These are luxury self-contained campers that provide very special moments and picture-perfect Insta shots to create lasting memories.
Sand Sherpa has an exciting fleet of vehicles, including a Pinzgauer 6×6 and a Land Rover 101 troop carrier as well as 4×4 vehicles. During a scenic drive on a specially prepared track to camp, participants are encouraged to spot and identify desert life while a Sherpa Guide provides insight, commentary and guidance over hand-held radios.
Once at camp, each group is assigned its own camping trailer equipped with a Sherpa Tent, utensils, camping accessories, sofa and dining set-up, along with eight kilograms of mesquite wood. After sunset, a bush dinner is prepared for campers, including salad, fire-cooked burgers and fresh oven-made pizza. Participants may also bring their own food and preferred beverages, which they can prepare on their individual grills.
Following dinner, campers are invited to participate in an evening nature walk around the campsite to spot animal tracks and scorpions. A hawk walk also takes place on the morning of departure to identify animal tracks that have appeared overnight. Each guest also has a turn walking with, and flying, trained birds of prey.
The experience is ideal for families with children looking to explore the natural landscape and learn more about the fascinating life that inhabits the sands. With education and conservation at the heart of the team’s efforts, the experience shines a light on the delicate environmental balance and inspires the need to protect the desert landscape amid rapid urban development.
Sand Sherpa makes a donation to the reserve for every participant on their very special eco-adventures.
