Remembering Scottsdale's swinging Safari Hotel

The French Quarter was a nightclub in Scottsdale's old Safari Hotel. The image for this vintage postcard was taken sometime during the 1960s.

The Safari Hotel was the place to go in Scottsdale in November 1956 when it opened to large crowds on Camelback Road a couple of blocks east of Scottsdale Road. 

To those not familiar with that era, they may look at that location as being the busy hub of activity then that it is today. However, it was a different scene in 1956. Scottsdale Fashion Square mall was still a rodeo ground and Camelback Road ended at Scottsdale Road going east. The most excitement there may have been seeing sheep driven down Scottsdale Road.

As is the case with many successful enterprises that require vision, someone came along with an idea that would have been laughable to most investors. That someone was Bill Ritter, who, along with motel developer Ernie Uhlmann, saw an opportunity in the soaring heat of a Scottsdale summer. 

With resorts closing in the summer because their guests preferred the cooler climes of the north, Ritter parlayed that opportunity into opening a 108-room hotel next to a canal. 

Safari Hotel was not just another cookie-cutter resort. The Safari had fine dining (Paul Shank’s), a popular lounge, shopping and the two magic words that would draw plenty of action: air-conditioning!

As reported in the Phoenix New Times in May 1997, “Leopard skins, tikis, martinis. In its day Scottsdale’s Safari resort was the big bwana of Valley luxe. Under the hotel’s imposing porte cochere, valets dodged lethal tail fins as they struggled to keep up with an endless stream of late model gas guzzlers. In the resort’s continental-style restaurant, fashionably dressed guests oohed and aahed as waiters raced around with carving carts and flaming swords. Inside the lounge (aptly billed as “The Liveliest Spot in Town”), name entertainment by the likes of George Shearing, The Ink Spots, and Rosemary Clooney was always on tap. And afterward? Poolside cocktails beneath the swaying palms or a midnight snack in the hotel’s bustling all-night coffee shop, home of the city’s best stargazing.”

Even the rustic peddler of Western trinkets, Don Pablo, respected the clout of the Safari. He was known for his popular hard-scrabble place at Scottsdale Road and Pinnacle Peak that drew many visitors who wanted to purchase anything related to Western lore. 

He had a postcard printed with his likeness and a picture of his place. He listed his address as being “14 miles north on Scottsdale Road.” It probably wasn’t a coincidence that was the exact distance from the Safari to his place of business. Most likely Don left some of those cards in the lobby of the Safari.

The designer of the Safari was Al Beadle, a well-known architect and designer of many buildings and homes in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Al was a guy who liked to get to the point in a hurry. When asked later in life why he selected a jungle theme instead of something more indigenous to the Arizona desert, he replied, “A safari’s a safari. It’s about trips; there is nothing more to it than that.” Al got right to the point, and he was right.

Like many hotel and entertainment venues of the past, the Safari eventually ran its course and closed in 1998. As reported in the East Valley Tribune  in 2006, “The Safari was closed in 1998 to make way for a $143 million Marriott hotel and conference center that never materialized.“ 

However, some apartments and condos have been constructed on the Safari site near the canal since 2008. A vacant lot near them represents where Paul Shank’s restaurant once prospered when guys like Bing Crosby and Burt Reynolds used to play while eating steak and lobster for $5.50!

Trump Tower Moscow

The Truth Behind Trump Tower Moscow: How Trump Risked Everything For A (Relatively) Tiny Deal

This story appears in the June 30, 2019 issue of Forbes Magazine. Subscribe

I t’s getting late, and Felix Sater—a onetime Trump partner, two-time convicted felon and longtime government cooperator—sits in the back of a New York City restaurant, ready for a drink. “A very dirty martini, Russian vodka,” he tells the waiter. “A collusion martini.”

No one outside of the Trump Organization has more firsthand knowledge of Donald Trump's connections to Russia than Felix Sater. In 2006, he scouted a potential deal in Moscow with the president's children Don Jr. and Ivanka. In 2007, he stood alongside Trump at a launch party for a hotel Sater had helped get built, Trump SoHo, which marketed partially to Russian buyers. And during the 2016 presidential campaign, Sater helped plan a giant Trump tower in Moscow.

"Here's to fun times," he says, hoisting his martini glass in the air.

Fun times indeed. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's 448-page report highlights three separate proposals to develop a Trump property in Moscow around the time of the election. Yet key details have remained vague. Forbes got in touch with the people at the center of all three—and uncovered concrete answers to fundamental questions about Trump's plans in Russia.

Three years ago, Michael Cohen was working on a potential Trump tower in Moscow. Today he is in prison for crimes that include lying to Congress about the project.

Such as who was actually going to pay for the project. Trump, now more of a licensor than builder, certainly wasn't planning on putting in much of his own money. And according to Sater, who brokered the proposal that extended furthest into the campaign, nor was Trump's official partner, Andrey Rozov. Instead, Sater says, he was cooking up a plan to raise huge sums from additional investors, including two of Vladimir Putin's closest cronies, Boris and Arkady Rotenberg . "We would have gone to them and asked them for four or five hundred million dollars cash," Sater says.

Another big, previously unsettled question: How much money could Trump have made in all of this? Both Mueller and former Trump attorney Michael Cohen have suggested, vaguely, "hundreds of millions." After mining business agreements and surveying real estate experts in Moscow, however, Forbes believes that's almost impossible. It seems more likely that Trump would have walked away with roughly $35 million up front and $2.6 million or so in annual fees, if everything went according to plan. In the rosiest of scenarios, Sater says, Trump could have gotten about $50 million. A lot of money to most people but less than 2% of the president's net worth ( estimated at $3.1 billion ).

Taken together, these revelations paint a new picture of Trump's plans in Russia and the president's way of doing business. His deal came with far greater risk—and far less reward—than previously understood. In short, candidate Trump jeopardized his eventual presidency on a middling deal and one that would have had Vladimir Putin's fingerprints all over it.

P art of the reason the Trump Tower Moscow narrative confuses people: There were three different attempts to attach the president's name to a Russian property in recent years. The first one emanates from the infamous 2013 Miss Universe contest, where 86 women strutted through a Moscow concert hall. Donald Trump, the co-owner of the pageant, took home the money, collecting an estimated $3 million from the local hosts: billionaire real estate tycoon Aras Agalarov and his son Emin, a pop singer. "I had a great weekend with you and your family," Trump tweeted afterward, tagging the elder Agalarov. "You have done a FANTASTIC job. TRUMP TOWER-MOSCOW is next."

One month later, in December 2013, the Trump Organization signed an agreement to brand an Agalarov property in Moscow, according to the Mueller report. The plan eventually called for 800 apartments near the concert venue that hosted the Miss Universe event, with 3.5% of sales going to Trump. If the whole building sold out, Emin Agalarov estimates Trump would have come away with $17 million or so.

Trump's daughter Ivanka toured the site in February 2014. That same month, though, the geopolitical landscape was shifting. Crowds were in the streets of Kiev, protesting Ukraine's Russia-friendly president, Viktor Yanukovych. He ultimately fled Ukraine, reportedly with the help of Putin. Within weeks, Putin sent soldiers into Crimea, a Ukrainian region neighboring Russia, effectively taking over. The landgrab sparked outrage in the international community, and the United States retaliated with economic sanctions.

Those measures, combined with falling oil prices, crippled the Russian economy—including the Moscow real estate market. The average price of new apartments plummeted an estimated 30% in 2014. Condos were selling for less than the cost of construction. Even in the unlikely event that the Agalarovs managed to build something amid all the turmoil, Emin Agalarov tells Forbes that Trump's payout would have been cut in half. Communications between the Trumps and the Agalarovs began to fade in the fall of 2014, according to the Mueller report. Donald Trump Jr. later told the Senate Judiciary Committee the project died because of "deal fatigue." A more likely cause of death: U.S. sanctions.

Who's Who In Towergate

With donald trump on one end and vladimir putin on the other, the web of people involved in trump's plans for moscow included members of the first family, oligarchs and russian officials..

In November 2015, Donald Trump, by then a presidential candidate, sat down with former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, who challenged him over his accommodating stance toward Russia. "[Putin] doesn't make deals," O'Reilly reasoned. "He just rolls soldiers in to cause destruction and shoots down airplanes."

"Well," Trump replied, "he does what he has to do."

Unbeknownst to the American public, the Trump Organization, which did not respond to requests for comment on this story, was secretly communicating about a second potential deal in Russia around the same time. In September 2015, nearly a year after the Agalarov partnership dropped off, and with Trump now leading the Republican primary race, his lawyer Michael Cohen traded messages with a man named Giorgi Rtskhiladze, according to the Mueller report. Cohen and Rtskhiladze had previously worked together on business in the former Soviet states of Georgia and Kazakhstan.

Rtskhiladze sent Cohen a draft of a letter ultimately intended for the mayor of Moscow, which pitched a Trump development as a symbol of strengthening ties between the United States and Russia, according to the Mueller report. "[The mayor] is aware of the potential project and will pledge his support," the note said, according to the report.

Today Rtskhiladze says he was just passing along the message on behalf of a longtime friend and that friend's acquaintance. He claims the letter never made it to the mayor. And he suggests he's not even sure if what he sent Cohen was accurate. "I don't know if it's true or not if [the] mayor's office was ever notified, okay."

That's how it goes in Russia, a place where trust is in short supply and outsiders can suddenly find themselves in unnerving situations. Rtskhiladze says he had previously warned Cohen of the risks: "You have to be careful who you get involved with."

C aution, however, is not the Trump way. Cohen dismissed the Rtskhiladze plan and chose to pursue a third proposal, brokered by a man with a checkered past: Sater. Moscow-born, Brooklyn-bred, Sater started a career on Wall Street, until a bar fight—he stabbed a man in the face with a margarita glass—led to 15 months in prison. Three years after his release, he pleaded guilty to racketeering in a mob-connected pump-and-dump stock scheme. He stayed out of prison this time by working with the feds, ultimately supplying information about the Mafia, North Korea, Russian cybercriminals, even Osama bin Laden. At Sater's sentencing, about a decade after he began cooperating with the government, FBI agent Leo Taddeo, one of Sater's handlers at the bureau, credited him with helping pave the way for law enforcement to "basically eliminate" the mob from Wall Street's penny stock business. Former FBI official Ray Kerr adds: "There was nothing he wouldn't do or wouldn't try."

At the same time that he was serving as a government cooperator, Sater reinvented himself as a real estate dealmaker. It was in that role that he ended up working with the Trump Organization, on projects in Arizona, Florida, New York and, ultimately, Russia. For the Moscow effort, Sater served as both broker and dealmaker. His friend Andrey Rozov, who did not respond to our request for comment, was officially the local developer in Russia, but Sater says he expected a cut for himself as well. Trump signed the letter of intent, dated October 28, 2015, the same day as the third Republican presidential debate.

Felix Sater (right) stands alongside Donald Trump and Tevfik Arif at the Trump Soho Launch Party on September 19, 2007 in New York.

The tower was meant to be the tallest building in Europe, featuring a few floors of prime shopping, a high-end hotel and new office space, topped with 250 luxury residences, homes for the Russian elite. According to the terms, Rozov was on the hook for construction while Trump would simply lend his name and help manage the place once it opened. In exchange, according to the Mueller report, the presidential contender would get a cut of condo sales, beginning with 5% of the first $100 million and gradually stepping down to 1% of everything over $1 billion. Sater says each unit would have been about 2,500 square feet, far larger than the typical luxury condo in Moscow. They were targeting a price of about $1,500 a square foot, about 30% above the average for luxury apartments in town. If all went well, Trump would have walked away with an estimated $34 million from condo sales and upfront fees. Big money, sure, but nothing life changing for a guy worth $3.1 billion.

To juice the numbers, Sater says, he wanted to give away a penthouse to Putin. On top of the terrible optics, this could have put the Trump Organization in danger of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which bans American companies from bribing foreign officials. Sater says the plan was not meant to entice the Russian president. "You've got to have a billion dollars for [Putin] to take you seriously," he says. "It's good for Congressman [Nancy] Pelosi or [Adam] Schiff to say that, but in the real world, Vladimir Putin ain't getting bought with a penthouse." When contacted, a representative of Putin deflected questions, saying, "We believe that you should address to relevant authorities, not to the press office of the president of Russia."

To Trump small amounts of money matter—the tower agreement details the slices he could shave off every year, including hotel management fees (an estimated $1.3 million), office rents (est. $240,000), residential management fees (est. $225,000), spa operations (est. $75,000) and so on. Add everything up and Forbes figures Trump could have gotten an additional $2.6 million annually—math verified by Sater, who confirmed an Excel spreadsheet that details the projected payments line by line.

Count enough years and it's theoretically possible to get to any number: $13 million over 5 years, $67 million over 25, $94 million over 35. Regardless, even with the condo deals, it wasn't really close to the "hundreds of millions" Cohen and Mueller cited.

R obert Mueller did not find collusion to steal the 2016 election—but he did find evidence of collusion to try to make money. Sater and Cohen did the work on the ground, rubbing elbows with oligarchs and Russian-government entities.

In sworn testimony before Congress, Cohen left no doubt about who was ultimately in charge: "To be clear, Mr. Trump knew of and directed the Trump Moscow negotiations throughout the campaign and lied about it."

There was good reason to lie, given the cast of characters involved. On October 9, 2015, before Trump had even signed the letter of intent, Sater wrote that he was meeting with Andrey Molchanov , a former member of the Russian senate who controlled a plot of land that could work for the tower. Three days later, Sater claimed the chairman of VTB, a Kremlin-controlled bank on which the U.S. imposed sanctions, was "on board" with the project. A spokesperson for VTB said the bank never dealt with Sater or his affiliates in Russia. Ultimately, Sater secured an invitation to Russia from a different bank, days after it had also landed on the U.S. sanctions list.

“You've got to have a billion dollars for [Putin] to take you seriously. It's good for Congressman [Nancy] Pelosi or [Adam] Schiff to say that, but in the real world, Vladimir Putin ain't getting bought with a penthouse.” Felix Sater

Then there was Sater's plan to get billionaire brothers Arkady and Boris Rotenberg to invest hundreds of millions in the project. From a political standpoint, it would be hard to think of a more problematic pair to bring into a deal with a U.S. presidential candidate. Arkady Rotenberg has known Vladimir Putin since childhood, when they were judo partners. He and his brother are now among Russia's richest people, worth an estimated $3.7 billion combined, with interests in banking and construction. Arkady Rotenberg's companies got $7.4 billion in government contracts for the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, over $5 billion for the 2018 World Cup (which Russia hosted) and more to build a bridge connecting Russia and Crimea. In 2014, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned both brothers, identifying them as members of Putin's "inner circle." The Rotenbergs did not respond to our request for comment.

The same thing that made the Rotenbergs targets of the U.S. government—their ties to Putin—made them appealing to Sater. In his mind, if he could get Putin's associates to invest $400 million or $500 million, then the Russian president would surely greenlight the project—a key step in a country where the government calls the shots on major real estate developments. Trump would have theoretically had to sign off on bringing in the Rotenbergs or anyone else who wanted a piece of the action. "Everybody was going to make money on this," Sater says. "And at the end of the day, some schmuck from Vladivostok with a lot of money would have put up all the money."

It is not clear whether Trump knew about the plans to give Putin a penthouse or his cronies a chunk of the deal. Which is remarkable in itself. A presidential candidate delegated a radioactive deal, in a hostile foreign country, to a former convict (Sater) and a soon-to-be convict (Cohen).

Virtually every part of their plan involved Putin or someone close to him. The equity? Putin's boys. The debt? Kremlin-connected banks. The land? A Putin ally. The approvals? Government entities. The marketing? Putin himself. Look at Trump Moscow long enough and it gives the impression it was less of a deal between Trump and a random Russian and more of a deal between Trump and Putin.

I t also came with a lot of bluster. By December 2015, Trump's men still had not locked in a plot of land. Or financing. Or investors. And Cohen was waiting on an official invitation to Russia. "I will not let you f--- with my job and playing point person," Cohen texted Sater between Christmas and New Year's, according to correspondence first released by Buzzfeed and confirmed by Forbes . "I still have no numbers from anyone who is allegedly involved in this deal, other than the fact I will have whatever invite I need within 48 hours. Not you or anyone you know will embarrass me in front of Mr. T when he asks me what is happening."

Cohen told Sater he was done working with him, and the text stream devolved into something like a souring love affair. "Please don't do this, Michael," Sater wrote.

"We're done," Cohen responded. "Enough. I told you last week that you thinking you are running point in this is inaccurate. You are putting my job in jeopardy and making me look incompetent. I gave you two months and then best you send me is some bull---- f------ garbage invite by some no name clerk at a third-tier bank. So I am telling you enough as of right now. Enough! I will handle this myself."

Kiev Protests. Political turmoil in Ukraine led to a Russian takeover of Crimea, which in turn prompted U.S. sanctions against Putin’s regime. Those measures put a dent in Moscow’s real estate market—and Trump’s potential windfall.

Cohen, who did not respond to a request for comment on this article, reached out to the office of Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov. On January 20, 2016, he heard back from Peskov's assistant. They talked for 20 minutes about a tower in Moscow, and Cohen came away impressed, according to the Mueller report. Cohen updated Trump, remarking that it would be nice if the Trump Organization had assistants who were as good as the Kremlin's, the report says.

Sater texted Cohen the next day. "Call me when you have a few minutes to chat," he wrote. "It's about Putin. They called today."

Money has a way of repairing relationships. Cohen and Sater eventually sketched out plans to travel to Russia. Cohen talked to Trump about it, and the candidate said he would be willing to go as well, so long as Cohen could "lock and load" on the deal, according to the Mueller report. Cohen settled on a rough timeline: "My trip before Cleveland," he texted Sater, referencing the Republican National Convention. "Trump once he becomes the nominee."

On May 5, 2016, Sater followed up with Cohen, offering promising news. "Peskov would like to invite you as his guest to the St. Petersburg Forum, which is Russia's Davos. It's June 16-19. He wants to meet there with you and possibly introduce you to either Putin or [Russian prime minister Dmitry] Medvedev."

But Sater was apparently bluffing. He now says he never actually had an invitation from Peskov, although he was confident he would meet some heavy hitters at the conference. When the Peskov invitation failed to materialize, Cohen called off the trip, according to the Mueller report, and checked in with Trump. But he did not tell the boss the deal was off, since there still seemed to be a chance it could come back to life in the closing months of the campaign. Or possibly afterward, when Trump would return to just being Donald Trump, private citizen.

What ultimately killed Trump Moscow was not all the bluster, nor the ties to Russian oligarchs, nor even the limited financial upside. When asked why the deal ended, in a sworn congressional hearing, Cohen pointed to one part of the plan that went awry: "He won the presidency."

Georgia Safari Conservation Park offers the ultimate wildlife sleepover—with a giraffe!

MADISON, Ga. — Looking for a hotel room with stunning views for your next getaway? How about a view you’ve never experienced before—an 11-foot, 18-month-old reticulated giraffe right outside your window? That’s the scene from the Giraffe Suite at the Georgia Safari Conservation Park in Madison, Georgia.

“This beautiful suite is housing two different 10-foot pane windows, so one behind me in the living room and then we have one that is overlooking the bedroom location,” Jessica Malloy from the Georgia Safari Conservation Park said. “So, that gives you full access to view to basically spend the night with a giraffe.”

But the giraffe isn’t the only wildlife you’ll encounter. You can come face-to-face with an ostrich, spot a rhino, watch zebras graze, and so much more during your visit.

“We currently have 83 different species,” Malloy said. “The majority of the species are going to be in the pasture.”

“We have zebras, common eland, you’ll have roan (antelope,) there is Eastern Bongo, Addax, behind me is Phoenix, the reticulated giraffe,” Malloy continued. “We also have two Southern White Rhinoceros.”

The park’s grand opening is the realization of a long-held dream by its founders. Their mission? To give back to the community, promote animal outreach, and create an unforgettable experience for visitors. The 530-acre safari park offers a variety of tours, including guided safaris, wild encounters, and private VIP tours.

For those who want to extend their stay, the park provides two unique lodging options : overnight stays in the giraffe suites or a stay in a private safari tent.

“I like to call them luxury safari tents,” Malloy said. “These (tents) were created by a company in Johannesburg (South Africa). We had them imported here and then we had that team help us build these tents and bring them to life.”

Tour luxury safari tent at Georgia Safari Conservation Park in Madison

Most of the luxury tents feature two bedrooms, but the park also offers the Honeymoon Hideaway—a one-bedroom unit with its own private outdoor oasis, including an outdoor tub and shower.

Wildlife tours are included with all overnight stays. While the safari tents might not offer giraffe views, they do provide picturesque scenes of other wildlife.

Before or after your animal adventure, you can explore downtown Madison, which is full of attractions to enjoy.

“Historic Madison, Georgia is breathtaking,” Malloy said. “Downtown there are various restaurants you can visit. If you love antiquing, there’s the cutest little spots you can go to and just spend the day, getting lost. There are tons of different historic structures downtown.”

Start your day with some French toast from Betty Gene’s , a quaint spot serving up Southern breakfast and lunch that’s just as good as mom’s!

Do some shopping, learn about comedian Oliver Hardy from the famous Laurel & Hardy duo and his connection to the area, or simply relax on the safari tent’s front porch while watching the animals roam.

End the day with dinner and drinks at Hart & Crown Tavern , a British-style pub on the square in historic Madison, where a variety of tempting treats await.

“You can really make an entire weekend trip out of a visit to Madison.”

If you’re looking for a unique weekend getaway, Madison and the Georgia Safari Conservation Park offer an experience unlike any other. As the park’s website says, “Welcome to Georgia Safari Conservation Park, where the beauty of nature, amazing animal encounters, and luxurious lodging create an incredible safari adventure.”

Who knew you could have this much fun in Madison!

When Is The Best Time To Book A Desert Safari Package?

D esert safaris are one of the most popular attractions in the UAE, providing a thrilling opportunity to experience dune bashing, camel rides, traditional shows, and delicious barbecue dinners against breathtaking desert scenery.

With hundreds of tour operators offering Desert Safari packages , choosing the right time to book is important to get the best experience at a reasonable price. This article explores tips on when to book for maximum savings and fun.

Peak Season Bookings

The peak tourist season from October to April sees very high demand for desert safari packages, especially on weekends and public holidays when thousands flock to Dubai.

Booking 2-3 months in advance ensures availability with reputed operators during peak periods when safaris get sold out weeks before.

Early bookings also allow blocking convenient timings and custom add-ons like private pick-ups or upgraded meal plans. However, expect relatively higher rates compared to off-season deals.

Leveraging Early Bird Offers

Many leading desert safari providers offer early bird discounts valid several months in advance of travel dates.

Opting for these attractive deals as soon as flight bookings are confirmed locks in lower prices before the pre-paid rates increase closer to the trip.

Large groups traveling together can make substantial savings this way, even during peak months. Just ensure to read cancellation and refund policies before purchasing.

Last Minute Bookings

For travelers who decide to take desert safaris spontaneously after arriving in Dubai or have flexible plans, last minute bookings 1-2 days in advance typically offer the lowest rates. Operators slash prices to fill unsold seats as the departure dates approach.

The trade-off is limited seat availability on peak days and timings along with fewer choices of convenient pick-up locations or extras.

Solo travellers and couples though can score great deals through last-minute online bookings.

Off-Season Discounts

The months from May to September see far fewer tourists in Dubai due to the extreme heat.

Desert safari rates can drop 30-50% or more during the off-season with heavy discounts, offers, and combos from most suppliers. The savings offset the scorching temperatures.

Flexible travelers who can plan summer trips get to enjoy a more private safari experience along with incredibly affordable prices. The key is confirming an operator with well-maintained, air-conditioned vehicles.

Knowing High and Low Demand Periods

When planning a desert safari booking, it helps understand weekly and seasonal demand fluctuations.

Peak Days and Slack Days

Weekends, especially Saturdays, attract the highest number of desert safari bookings throughout the year along with weekday evenings.

Midweek daytime slots typically see lower demand in comparison, hence better deals. Fridays have moderate demand due to being a holiday in the UAE.

Seasonal Variations

The cooler months from November to February attract peak tourists and see the highest pricing for desert safari packages. September-October and March-May have intermediary demand.

June-August summer season has the lowest occupancy on tours, allowing great low rates.

Capitalizing on Offbeat Timings

The most popular desert safari timings are 3 pm to 9 pm or 4 pm to 10 pm slots, catching golden hour at sunset. Opting for earlier or later timings typically has lower occupancy and rates.

12 pm to 4 pm morning safaris beat daytime heat and offer value prices.

10 pm to 2 am night safaris under starry skies are lower-demand giving savings benefits too.

Bundling Transport and Accommodation

Many desert safari deals offer bundled prices including return transfers from hotels and accommodation. This can offer significant savings over standalone safari bookings.

Hotels with private safari tour partners often recommend these combos for guests with agreed rates.

Booking bundled packages in advance secures transport convenience and better fares.

Utilizing Coupons and Cashbacks

Online travel portals and booking sites regularly promote desert safari deals offering coupons, promo codes and cashbacks as added incentives.

Following desert safari suppliers on social media also gives access to special offers.

Using these additional discounts on early bookings results in the lowest net pricing. Cashback portals also enable claiming back a percentage of total spend.

Group Size Discounts

Desert safari providers routinely offer discounted rates for bigger groups above 4-5 passengers booking together. The markdowns may range from 10-30% compared to regular prices.

Families and groups of friends can optimize savings by coordinating bookings and availing group discounts well in advance during peak season.

Booking with Hotel Concierge

Many hotels have dedicated desert safari desk staff who can advise guests and offer bundled transport deals at agreed rates.

Booking the safari package via hotel concierge allows seamless transfers and often discounts versus direct booking.

Multi-activity Combos

Some desert safari operators offer combo deals bundling dune bashing with activities like hot air ballooning, jet skiing, yacht cruises etc.

Multi-activity packages booked together are more value-for-money compared to individual bookings.

Advance Reservations for Customization

Planning your desert safari well ahead allows for customizing experiences with unique add-ons, such as private Falconry shows, henna artists for intricate designs, or the luxury upgrade to exclusive SUVs.

These bespoke offerings require careful pre-arrangement, ensuring a personalized and exceptional desert adventure.

This proactive approach not only secures preferred activities but also allows for tailored experiences, ensuring a memorable and customized journey through the mesmerizing landscape of the desert.

Booking on Weekdays

Booking a desert safari on weekdays often ensures a more exclusive and less crowded experience.

Opting for weekday departures grants quicker access to activities such as camel riding and dune bashing with minimal waiting times.

Weekends typically witness a surge in visitors, resulting in larger crowds and potential delays for various activities, making weekdays a more favorable option for a more intimate and serene experience.

In essence, securing a desert safari package 1-3 months in advance, significantly leveraging early bird offers, bundled transport deals, and group discounts, guarantees the best value pricing during peak seasons.

During off-peak times, last-minute bookings offer the lowest fares.

Understanding the fluctuations in demand allows tourists to seize opportunities during underutilized timings and weekdays, providing an opportunity to enjoy significant savings on desert safaris.

Visitors can relish substantial cost savings by choosing the right timing while reveling in an unforgettable desert adventure.
