Crazy Camel Desert Camping
My name is Jamin. I was born in a small village in the Thar Desert near the sand dunes. I’m from an authentic desert family and have been a camel driver since I was 8 years old. I started out under the guidance of my father and uncle with our family camels and now I am heading my own business. I specialise in offering non-touristic desert safaris, away from other hotel groups and travel agencies. I offer a unique experience to help you discover the beauty of the desert. Each safari is tailor-made to your requirements and the length of your adventure can be from just one night to 21 days.
