Tell the safari team early
If you have a food allergy, share it before you confirm the booking. Name the ingredient and tell the team whether a trace amount or cross-contact is a concern. The booking desk can check what information the camp can provide for your date.
Ask specific questions
- Can the camp identify ingredients in the buffet dishes?
- Is there a separate meal or serving area?
- Can staff confirm how food is prepared and handled?
- Is a meal available that avoids the ingredient?
Do not assume that a dish is safe because it looks simple or because another camp offered it on a different date. Buffet menus and food handling can vary.
Keep your own plan
If you have prescribed medication or an emergency plan, bring it with you and follow the directions given by your health professional. Tell the people travelling with you what they need to know. The operator's answer about the menu does not replace medical advice.
Choose a package with clear information
A morning tour may not include a meal. An evening safari usually has a buffet, but each camp can have different choices. If the team cannot confirm a suitable meal, ask about another option before paying.
For current dinner details, see the evening safari page. You can also use the Dubai desert safari FAQ to prepare questions for the booking desk.
