Fun day feeding Camels, Alpacas, and an African Crested Porcupine! Camel Safari is near Mesquite and it borders the river. Took about 1.5 hours to drive from Henderson. It's a few minutes off the highway, but feels pretty remote and sits on about 176 acres of land. I rode a tram and one of the family dogs was hanging out with me. There was even a Sloth, Zedonk, Horses, a Goat, and Alpacas, plus a Llama. There were two camel babies only a couple of weeks old. It was cute seeing them walk around. I would recommend driving an SUV or a higher profile vehicle because the road is not paved. No food nearby, so bring water and snacks.

This has been on my today list for years and I'm so glad we finally did it. (Especially this time of year before summer). The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. You could see this place is his passion and he loves his animals. I was so excited to see the sloth! I just wish I could have gotten closer. Haha. The Ridgeback farm dogs were so sweet! I swear one, Mr. Roger's, had a crush on my husband. The minute we got there he came up to us at our car and then stayed with us the entire tour. I was making a joke to my husband that he's probably going to ride the tram with us...he did. He was another member of our family. During the tour he always stayed right by us as well, hearing my husband. Haha. So sweet! The porcupine feeding was an experience as well! She's so sweet!!! My daughter's already wanting to go back.

Whether you are a local looking for something fun to do or a tourist enjoying Vegas or Mesquite, this trip is worth making. This is not a zoo with animals in small cages, it is a massive preserve where magnificent 1 ton camels roam free (as well as alpacas, dingos, sloths, porcupines and llamas). You will get very close to these beautiful creatures - you will feed them, pet them, have them smell your cologne. The owner clearly loves and has a personal passion for his animals and it is clear that they love him back. Make a trip, you won't be sorry!

camel safari in vegas

Went back in the beginning of November (I know, I'm extremely late to share) for my girlfriend's birthday and we had a blast. Everyone was very kind and knowledgeable about the animals, and the animals themselves were very friendly and loved the attention. Never thought I'd ride a camel, but it was a very fun and entertaining experience.

This was a good time. I love camels and they have many bactrian and dromedary camels. We loved all the helpful information from the owner and the zoologist. Definitely worth a visit if you love animals!

My family and I planned this trip because we love animals, and the tour guide Adam was amazing. This guy is a keeper.... We wanted to see the New Guinea screaming dogs the most. The owner, Guy, chit chatted for the first half hour or so... so by the time we got to the screaming dogs... we were kicked out by the owner. Guy said, "I have to go and we need to leave so you need to leave now (in the middle of feeding the porcupine) " What?? we just paid 400-500 and we didn't see the New Guinea dogs.....noooooooooo..As far as my assessment of the care of the animals.. The love given to these animals was incredible and the animals love the owner and Adam. They both truly are animal men. But Guys's bedside manners with people stink. He needs to learn patience with the two-legged animals. People!!!

Camels right outside of Vegas! Always followed them on social media and found ourselves in the area so we decided to book a tour (which you do online). Off a dirt road, you find this place. We were immediately greeted by a tour in progress. We were invited to hop on the tram, so off we went! Camels, camels, camels! So much room to roam and play. I've seen them in typical zoo settings but they are HUGE up close! You also get to meet some llamas and a sloth. You can pet a camel (Norman) and feed a porcupine (Thorn). There are also the cutest dogs on the property who love to hang out with you. We brought our almost 2 year old and he had a blast. We did the tram tour. Such a fun time. Highly recommend.

Super cool and very educational experience! Way more than just riding in a tram and looking at the animals, we were able to get up close and personal! The owner was very nice and communicative as well as very personable. You can definitely tell he takes really good care of the animals. He goes the extra mile with making sure guests enjoy the experience! Would definitely come back again!

The main pool at Mihir Garh

“Royal families used to support artists. Now it’s tourism that keeps art and tradition alive,” says Avijit Singh, the director of India’s House of Rohet group of small luxury hotels. He’s speaking about his family’s ancestral home, Rohet Garh, their city hotel in Jodhpur and their most magical tourism endeavor so far, Mihir Garh .

The hotel feels like a primeval fort in remote Rajasthan, the kind of place that’s risen from the sand since forever. But just two decades ago, it existed only as a dream. The site, atop a dune in the windswept Thar Desert, was once a picnic site for guests of Rohet Garh.

When Rohet Garh’s popularity took off, the family realized their desert dream. Their Fortress of the Sun rose with the efforts of more than 100 artisans. They spent more than two years constructing every detail from the murals in the dining room to the mirror-mosaic fireplaces that grace many of the rooms.

The temple courtyard at the entrance

The nine eco-friendly guest rooms are enormous, each around 1,700 square feet, and have unheard-of desert luxuries like plunge pools and open-air Jacuzzis. Their decoration was largely chosen by Avijit’s mother, Thakurani Rashmi Singh, and it leans toward rich colors, opulent dark wood furnishings, carved headboards and elaborately patterned rugs, all produced in the region. The bathrooms, with their curved surfaces and smooth floors and walls, seem to have been fashioned from the sand itself. In fact, it’s a special plaster technique known to only one craftsman in the region.

Trump Prosecutor Fani Willis Easily Wins Her Democratic Primary While Judge In Georgia Case Reelected

Ukraine is mobilizing tens of thousands of new troops. they need a lot more armored vehicles., rsa conference 2024 highlights insights and companies to watch.

The whole thing is a paradox: contemporary comforts in one of the most tradition-bound corners of India, sumptuous accommodations within a barren land, creature comforts in the middle of the wilderness. A cooling dip in the pool as a respite from the relentless afternoon heat, and a cozy snuggle beside the fire as the darkness chills the desert night.

Avijit Singh, whose grandfather led the family into tourism, grew up at Rohet Garh, studied at École Hôtelière de Lausanne in Switzerland and worked for Indian powerhouses like Oberoi and Taj. He returned to the family business with a slew of ideas, including aiming for inclusion in Relais & Châteaux, which Mihir Garj achieved in 2014.

One of the guest suites

Relais & Châteaux prides itself on many things (charm, character, some other C’s), but a clear case of Mihir Garh’s brand compliance is in its cuisine. The kitchen turns out a wide variety of international and Indian dishes. The way to go, of course, is the local fare: traditional Rajasthani delicacies—curries, biriyanis, dals—and family recipes from Avijit’s grandmother. The formal dining room is just a suggestion; guests can also dine in their suites, on the rooftop or anywhere else on the grounds.

While it’s tempting to simply lounge and eat, there’s much to do at Mihir Garh. Its signature excursion is the Village Safari, whose name, I admit, concerned me. I’ve seen too many of the human-petting-zoo products that pass for village tourism in much of the world.

Thankfully, no such thing happens here. The visits, to traditional enclaves with elaborately mustachioed men and red-veiled women, and to rural communities with mud-walled homes and Brahmin villages with the caste’s famous blue buildings, are based on the owners’ personal connections. Guests are invited into homes—of shepherds, Brahmin farmers and weavers—as friends of friends. Tea is shared. Questions are encouraged and answered.

A Village Safari

Experienced riders can interact with other animals as well, as Rohet Garh and Mihir Garh share one of India’s top equestrian programs. Avijit’s father, Sidharth Singh, is a passionate advocate for the region’s native Marwari horses—recognizable for their funny little curved ears—and serves on the board of the All India Marwari Horse Society, which brought them back from near-extinction. (Apparently the British weren’t fans.) Mihir Garh offers rides at sunrise and sunset, as well as multi-day treks with luxury mobile camps that have running water and flush toilets.

Otherwise, this being luxury India, there is always something delicious to eat. Mihir Garh sets up private Royal Picnics underneath an ornate tent beside a small lake. Even more theatrical are the Shikar Diners, a tradition from the days of the Raj, in which food is slow-roasted underground all day and served in the starlight beside a bonfire. Rajasthani folk musicians are brought out to play, and a camel cart rolls up for the ride back to the hotel.

As for Rohet Garh, which is a short drive away, it makes total sense that it housed the actors and crew for The Darjeeling Limited. It’s easy to imagine Wes Anderson and company cavorting on the grounds. Officially classified as a Heritage Hotel, it’s one of the finest in the country, with a large courtyard with sprawling lawns, manicured gardens, strutting peacocks and pavilions around a swimming pool. Nearly everything in the lounges and 34 guest rooms is original, from the polished silver to the family portraits enlivened with gold leaf, some of it going back four centuries.

The main gate to Rohet Garh

And the final piece of the collection is Rohet House, an eight-room oasis in Jodhpur. It was also designed by Thakurani Rashmi Singh in the family’s Art Deco residence, which was built in 1969. It’s made of Jodhpur sandstone and red ochre and centered around quiet gardens in a 50-foot-long swimming pool. The rooms are filled with decoration by local artists and more botanical murals.

Archival photos are hung alongside one of the staircases, including images of one of the great-grandfathers, who was a champion polo player in the time of the Raj. Mihir Garh may be relatively new, but the family’s commitment to hospitality and heritage is not.
