A
Safari is a journey into the desert, but one that is accompanied with
rudimentary comforts, and even luxurious amenities. As each journey
progresses, there is the excitement of setting camp at a new spot in the
lonely wilderness of the Thar, of being entertained by groups of wandering
minstrels, of coming in proximity of village life in one of the harshest
conditions of the world, of enjoying splendid camp meals and sleeping under
the stars that hang suspended from the sky like twinkling fairy lights
None
of these journeys are arduous because the organizers ensure that all
facilities are provided, from entertainment of fine dining, and from setting
up deluxe camps to ensuring that your slightest needs are met. But
eventually, it is the landscape that is spellbinding. For miles altogether,
there is nothing but sand, but from this aridness one can expect the
unexpected as groups of women appear and disappear in their colorful
clothes, apparently going nowhere.
