FAQs
Safari + Quad Bike — common questions
Do I need a driving licence for the quad?
No licence is needed to ride in our designated desert riding area, but age and engine-size rules apply to the bike you choose. Bring identification in case it is requested.
Have I got to have ridden before?
No. Most guests haven't. You get a safety briefing first and guide assistance throughout the session.
Can I upgrade to a bigger quad?
We also run the Yamaha Raptor 700cc as a separate, more performance-focused option. Ask the team for current pricing and availability.
Can I add more quad time?
Yes, subject to availability on the day. It is usually cheaper to arrange it when you book.
