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.
Operator response
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!
