Tips for the ladies; there’s sand everywhere, all the time so pack a pair of ankle boots or slippers for after your shower to ensure clean, sand free feet for bedtime.

Water will be scarce whilst we’re camping in the dessert so plan your hair care routine, dry-shampoo if that’s your thing, French plaits or a few of your favourite hats.

Make sure you know your rig, if you are hiring a vehicle, practice setting up your camp at least once before heading into the dunes.

Avoid packing glass bottles or containers unless they can be securely fastened, all the humps and bumps during our first 2 days driving tend to shake things about.

Insulated travel mugs are a great accessory! Keep it hot or keep it cold!

Many days lunch will be whilst we’re driving through the dunes, sandwiches are a great option as well as snacks like biltong, dried fruit and nuts.
