Safety
Your safety comes first
A careful, conservative approach to walking in the desert.
Before the journey
We review every application, share a preparation plan, and hold a pre-departure briefing on route, conditions and expectations.
During walking
Groups walk with guides at a sustainable pace. Stages may be shortened, adjusted or skipped depending on conditions.
Heat management
Walking is planned around the cooler hours of the day, with shaded rest during peak heat wherever possible.
Hydration
Water is available throughout walking days. Participants are encouraged to drink regularly, before feeling thirsty.
Rest
Regular rest stops are built into each stage. Anyone can pause at any time.
Emergency procedures
The team carries first aid supplies and emergency communication, and follows defined procedures to reach local emergency services.
Support vehicles
Support vehicles accompany the group so participants who cannot continue walking can be transported.
Participant responsibility
Participants are responsible for their own fitness, medication and following team instructions on the route.
