Fun quad safari with a group of friends. Whole safari was a mixture of quads, cars and buggies which also makes it family friendly. Guides where very attentive to safety and also to the entertainment aspect. Be prepared to get dirty due to dust, so dont expect to stay clean

Brilliant 🤩 fun, the route was great, very dusty off road for most of it so bring a bandana!! The beach stop was great!! The staff were all great especially angelo & Anthony , so helpful, they didn’t let you go without water. The food was also good chicken skewers and chips 🍟 and a Greek salad! Well worth it!! They even finished with their traditional drink raki!!

Thank you and they even dropped me o...
