Overall we really enjoyed it.

The food was great, tents were warm, facilities very clean and beautiful desert. Our one issue was we never really knew the plans or how to book things like the camel ride or what was going on. Clearer instructions would have been nice.

Our experience was simply exceptional !

The initial issue was quickly and efficiently resolved, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Everything exceeded our expectations. A perfect 10/10!

Amazing experience

It has been an authentic pleasure. The night in the desert, spending time with the camels, the tunisian homemade food and the guides, everything amazing. We would definitely recommend it.

Beyond grateful to have experienced this desert adventure ๐Ÿค

Having spent two nights in the desert was absolutely wonderful. I organized this trip with friends because I trusted we'd be in safe hands with WildyNess reliable partners, and they didn't disappoint. The staff were extremely caring and attentive, the cleanliness of the premises was impeccable, and the quality and quantity of food were impressive for such a remote area. We were so pleasantly surprised! Unfortunately, the weather didn't allow for the magical experience of a deep desert night, but we are definitely planning to return to visit those wonderful people and spend a night in the desert again.
