CAMEL SAFARI IN CABO

I've never been up close to a camel and always heard they were dirty, smelly and spit at people. I have to say nothing could have been further from the reality of my camel experience. These camels are well cared for with clean fur and they're happy, not overworked or poorly treated. In fact we had to do our safari on Friday because the camels do not work on Saturdays! It was a smooth ride and very comfy, no spitting, bad smells or aggressive behavior. The camels even gave kisses! There was a lot attached to this excursion and it was well worth the $100 and the lunch they provided was the best food I've eaten in all of Mexico. It's the only Camel Safari in Cabo.... in all of Mexico I believe. I met Sidi Amar, a lovely man from Egypt who brought the camels to Cabo and acclimated them to the environment. He has established many camel safari adventures around the world and was fascinating. After the camel ride they serve you a traditional tea which is sweet and you can visit while everyone takes close-up pictures with the camels. This is a must do when in Cabo!
