    Jaisalmer Safari

    I booked the safari directly with my hotel Tofu Safari. I really had a great evening with other travelers, a beautiful campfire, a very good meal, and above all a sky filled with stars, sometimes shooting stars! It was truly magical to be able to observe them in the calm of the desert, far from the hustle and bustle and the lights. A very beautiful night, simple and authentic, with a great atmosphere. I really recommend this experience with Tofu if you are passing through Jaisalmer!

    3 days safari

    An unforgettable experience in the Jaisalmer desert! We did a customized safari where we could change locations and spend 3 nights in different parts of the desert. The organization was excellent, and our guides were knowledgeable and very helpful. The beds, blankets and pillows were really comfortable, food was amazing, and everything was well arranged. The highlight was lying under the stars and seeing an incredible number of shooting stars each night. I will never forget that magical experience. Highly recommended!

    Memorable night under the stars

    An absolutely magical experience in the desert that I am not ready to forget! I had a great time with other travelers, Toffi and Roja. Everything was very well organized (visit to an oasis, camel ride, abandoned village) and they know how to welcome and take care of their guests. The highlight was spending the night in the desert under an incredible starry sky. The meal was also excellent, with delicious and generous Indian food. Everything was perfect for a superb evening in an exceptional setting. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wishes to discover the Thar Desert in an authentic and memorable way. A big thank you to Toffi for this very beautiful moment!

    Amazing Non-Touristic Safari Experience

    We had an amazing experience with the Non-Touristic Safari in the Thar Desert. If you want to escape the crowded tourist camps and experience the real desert, I highly recommend this tour. The safari took us away from the busy tourist areas to a peaceful and beautiful part of the desert. Riding camels through the dunes, watching the sunset, enjoying a traditional dinner, and spending the night under the stars was truly unforgettable. What we loved most was the peaceful atmosphere and the feeling of experiencing the desert in a more authentic way. Our guide was friendly, helpful, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. A perfect choice for anyone looking for an authentic, peaceful and less-touristic desert experience in Jaisalmer. 🌵🐪✨ Highly recommended!

    Overnight Safari Was Amazing

    We had an amazing time in the desert. We did the overnight tour but next time I would do it for longer, and stay for 2 nights instead. They also offer exciting jeep rides to reach to the camp spot so you can choose to do that instead of riding the poor camels. The amount of stars we saw were incredible! Tofu's guys took great care of us and prepared everything while we were there. It was very relaxing and peaceful being in the beautiful desert, and I'll definitely go back with Jaisalmer Tofu Safari.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so happy to hear you had an amazing time with us in the desert. It means a lot that you noticed the effort our team put in to make your stay comfortable and peaceful. We're glad you enjoyed the stars—nothing beats that desert night sky! We’d love to welcome you back for a longer stay next time. Until then, take care and keep the desert magic with you! Jaisalmer Tofu safari Team

    Explore Thar Desert with Camping Ride: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaisalmer.

    How much does Explore Thar Desert with Camping Ride cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jaisalmer usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Explore Thar Desert with Camping Ride take?

    +

    Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jaisalmer is not rushed.

    Is Explore Thar Desert with Camping Ride worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jaisalmer, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Explore Thar Desert with Camping Ride?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Explore Thar Desert with Camping Ride suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Explore Thar Desert with Camping Ride?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jaisalmer can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jaisalmer and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Explore Thar Desert with Camping Ride start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jaisalmer within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Jaisalmer?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Jaisalmer experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Overnight Camel Safari - Sleeping under the Stars, Adventure non touristic camel safari, Overnight Desert Safari Tour Package. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Jaisalmer?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Jaisalmer?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Explore Thar Desert with Camping Ride?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Dinner; Breakfast; Private transportation; and Snacks. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Explore Thar Desert with Camping Ride include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 4 listed pickup locations in and around Jaisalmer. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Explore Thar Desert with Camping Ride offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, Italian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +

    +
