Traveller reviews
The second riding session was better because everyone had relaxed by then. Good little adrenaline fix.
Fun ride, but the waiting area before starting was quite dusty too. Wear closed shoes.
My wife had never driven a quad before and was nervous, but the staff kept beginners near the back and checked on them. I liked that it wasnt just a flat circle; there were dusty tracks, little slopes, and a photo stop. Two hours was the right length. We were back at the hotel with time to shower before dinner.
I liked that the guide stopped anyone driving too aggressively. It kept the group safe.
The quad safari was short enough to fit into the day but still felt like a real activity. The first riding session helped everyone get used to the bikes, and the second one was more fun because the group had relaxed. The route was dusty, with a few rough corners and open parts. Bring sunglasses and wear clothes you dont care about.
We did this before lunch and it was the perfect short adventure for the day.
