Sunset safari
Sunset gives you golden light, long shadows and cooler air for a camp stop. It is the most popular option, particularly in the cooler months.
Morning safari
Morning offers cooler air in summer, softer light and fewer people. The dunes look pale and clean, and the Inland Sea can be especially clear.
Which should you choose?
In winter, choose sunset for photography and atmosphere. In summer, choose early morning or a late-afternoon departure to avoid the worst heat.
Consider your flight
If you are on a layover, a morning departure may fit better. For a late flight, sunset is ideal.
