Fifu Camel Safaris
Meeting point
If you do not need hotel pickup then our assembly and starting point is at our Hotel Fifu. It is located on Bera road, 500 meters from main road.

Description

This tour is a different and unique experience in Jaisalmer for people who are always curious during their travels how do the local people live. It is also a perfect way to extend camel safari into a full day trip. We understand adventure travellers well that is why we carefully crafted this package. It is all about authenticity. Nothing is staged here, we want you to see how people live in the Thar Desert. We partnered with selected villages to create a sustainable tourism and fair source of income for them. You will visit two different villages and have a chance to see desert life, interact with villagers during tea breaks and eat homely vegetarian lunch with one of the families in their house. After that you'll transfer for the desert safari, where camels will be already waiting for you. Watching the sunset from the dunes is an unforgettable experience. As the sun sets, the sky and sands change colours to create one brilliant spectacle.

This is the assembly point of your tour. If you opted for hotel pickup we will bring you here before the start. Quick introduction to the team and review of the itinerary. You can also store luggage on our premises if you so desire.

Jaisalmer
300 min

Visit in two authentic Thar Desert villages. You will reach there by jeep. Within just few minutes from your arrival the news will spread through the village that a guest arrived. Children start approaching curiously and shouting greetings, women look shyly from far away while men welcome you in their village and ask about your life and family. Because of the remoteness of these villages, locals are not used to having visitors hence it is always a special occasion when guests arrive. You will spend some time walking around the villages with some chai breaks. After that you will have a chance to taste a traditional lunch prepared for you from local ingredients in one of the families houses. Don't forget to capture those amazing moments on photographs but please ask people before making their portraits.

300 min

When your visit in the two villages is complete, you'll transfer to another point for the desert safari, where camels will be already waiting for you. Watching the sunset from the dunes is an unforgettable experience. As the sun sets, the sky and sands change colours to create one brilliant spectacle. The air becomes chillier and it seems as if the whole desert is preparing for the night. As the night emerges you can clearly see the starry sky without any light pollution. You will reach back to Jaisalmer by 10 PM.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Magical experience in the Thar Desert

An exceptional excursion from start to finish. We started with a visit to abandoned villages and ruins in the middle of the desert, then a secluded fort in the middle of nowhere — a unique atmosphere. The camel ride through the dunes was incredible: total silence, beautiful scenery, and we didn’t meet anyone. The best part: the campfire dinner prepared by our guides Abdullah and Kabir (with Abdullah’s son). Homemade Indian vegetarian cuisine, wood-fired chapatis, sunset and starry sky... just magical. Adorable guides, authentic experience, unforgettable memories. Maximum rating without hesitation! 🌅✨

Best day adventure in Jaisalmer with Kabir

Excellent tour guide Kabir. Visited lots of villages and met lots of beautiful local people. Saw village life and ate lunch at Kabirs home. Was delicious. Very hospitable and warm friendly people. Camel riding was excellent. Clean camels John and Simon and very nice guide Abdula and his son. Very good photos taken in great sand dune spots. Best experience in Jaisalmer.

Village Tour

FIFU offered us something to drink beforehand, explained the trip, and provided other important information. Our guide, Kabir, then took us in a cool jeep to his home, the Rajasthan desert. The four-wheel drive allowed us to reach remote villages. The local people everywhere welcomed us warmly and showed us how they live. We even got to help one family prepare lunch and eat it there. We were just too far away, which of course made the experience even more personal. All in all, a fantastic and authentic experience. Everything went smoothly with FIFU-Trafel, and Kabir was a great guide with a lot of experience in the desert. Highly recommended, very personal and authentic. Thank you very much!

End of the day in the Tahar Desert

We just returned from a magnificent camel safari in the Thar desert The camel Abdullah leads us to isolated dunes and away from the sound of jeep safaris! And here we witness a magnificent sunset in breathtaking colors and in the greatest calm. Meanwhile Abdullah and our driver prepare us an excellent meal that we will enjoy in the moonlight. Not to mention on the road visit Fort Khaba at the foot of one of these many villages deserted in one night by all their inhabitants We recommend Fifu Camel Safari for their kindness, authenticity and seriousness of organization

Experience the peace and beauty of the desert.

As guests of the Meri Haveli Hotel in Jaisalmer, we had spoken to the owner of the hotel, Mr Kewaliya, called Fifu, about our wishes regarding a trip to the desert. We wanted a quiet trip away from the big tourist crowds, with a short camel ride and especially a quiet meal during sunset in a small group. All our wishes were fulfilled and it was a very individual excursion with a friendly driver and a meal for six under a clear starry sky on sand dunes. On the way there were three short stops, which were not too long or commercial. The camel ride initially took place in the plain with sand and bushes, but in the end we actually reached the sand dunes. The food was delicious and we tolerated it well. We felt very comfortable. For us, one of the highlights of our trip to India. Thank you.

Camels, bats and friendly guides.

Amazing day. Hotel pick up was arranged to suit us and everything was clearly explained at the start. We stopped at the abandoned Brahmin village, an oasis and fort before picking up the camels about 4:15. Camels were friendly and the guides led them through the fields and into the dunes. We had amazing masala tea before walking into the dunes to watch the sunset. We returned to let it go dark and watched the stars before take the jeep back out of the desert for the ride home. In the abandoned village was a room with bats in touching distance - they were flying in the daylight …..amazing. We could have had an evening meal or even stayed under the stars - next time we will. Great time. Mr Soda was really helpful and took great care of us.

Alone in the desert

An excellent way to discover the desert and its culture, meeting a family, walking, preparing a meal... The feeling of being alone in the world and being able to admire the stars An agency that I highly recommend

Safari tour close to Jailsamer. Nature and culture in the sand

All the family enjoyed the private desert experience! Rising a camel in the golden sands of the Thar desert was truly unforgettable. 🐪 But the desert isn’t just about sand; it’s a fascinating blend of nature and culture ( monuments such as temple, fort and people such as speaking with Indian and learning cooking) I highly recommend Fifu for the safari tour
