Review of Private Night Vintage Land Rover Desert Safari & Astronomy
We had a private night safari with astronomy plus an additional camel ride. First, we had a very smooth drive from the hotel to the safari camp. Then we had an awesome private camel ride just before the sunset. So the weather was perfect, the views as well, camel carer was great, camels seemed to be very well taken care of (what is important to me). Then we started our safari drive in an old Land Rover which was fun. Our guide, Mahdi, told us some interesting facts about animals, country and the surroundings. We managed to see a snake (or a viper), scorpion and a gecko. And of course oryxes - they're plenty of them in the area and it so nice to see how the conservation program works. Then we had a bonus fire show followed by dinner at the Platinum Oasis. The show was short, but quite nice to watch, and the food was really tasty! The oasis looks great, there are tables in small tents around a small lake, the experience is very private and exceptional. And the last part was an astronomy lecture, so we heard many interesting things about stars, constellations and we could see some of the with a telescope. However, the astronomy session was not private, there were other people. So only the rest of the experience was private.
In general, I'd definitely recommend the company and the experience although I'd say that the program was quite full for the time we had there so sometimes I felt a bit rushed and I didn't have enough time for photos.
As for COVID precautions, in my opinion it was fine, although I would add a bottle of sanitizer plus some wet wipes at the table where we had dinner.
As for booking experience, we booked via an email, and the first person I was writing to, Lydia, was attentive and there were no issues. But when our date came and I wanted some confirmation about our booking she was no longer available, somebody else responded to my emails and they seemed not to know what was going on. So there is definitely a place for improvement.
Summing up, if you want to have a different type of safari, in a place that is not crowded with other companies, and the idea of ecotourism is important to you, I definitely recommend Platinum Heritage :)
