Tour Itinerary
Hotel Pick-up
According to your selected ride time (Daytime or Sunset), our comfortable vehicle picks you up from your hotel in Cappadocia. We transfer you to the camel farm located near the valleys.
Meet Your Camel & Safety Briefing
Upon arrival, you are warmly greeted by our professional camel trainers. You will meet your camel and receive a short briefing.
No Experience Needed: The trainers explain how to sit and hold on safely. The camels are led by a handler on foot, so you don’t need to “steer” the camel yourself. A mounting platform makes getting on and off very easy.
The Camel Ride Begins
Once you are comfortable in the saddle, the caravan sets off! The 1-hour ride takes you through narrow paths and open trails that cars cannot reach.
- Rose Valley & Red Valley: We glide through these rose-tinted valleys. The rock formations here reflect vibrant colors, especially during the “Golden Hour” of sunset.
- Love Valley: We admire the towering, mushroom-shaped fairy chimneys. Riding a camel next to these giant pillars is a surreal experience.
- Ancient Cave Dwellings: Along the route, we pass by old cave homes and monasteries carved into the cliffs, giving you a glimpse into the ancient history of Cappadocia.
Photo Stops
During the safari, we make several stops at scenic points. Your guide will help you take photos with your camera or phone. The sight of a camel train against the backdrop of Mount Erciyes or the valleys is truly unforgettable.
Return Transfer
After the ride concludes at the farm, we say goodbye to our animal friends. Our vehicle will transfer you comfortably back to your hotel, leaving you with amazing memories and photos.

Customer Reviews
I suggest doing this on your first day to get into the mood of Cappadocia. It sets the tone perfectly. The camels are gentle giants. The saddle has a handle to hold onto, so you feel secure. The sunset view point was breathtaking.
The morning safari is best because the light is soft and you see the hot air balloons. It feels like a dream. The camel ride is slow, so you can take steady videos with your phone. A great way to start the day in Cappadocia.
Una experiencia única. Los camellos son muy tranquilos y el paseo es relajante. Las vistas del atardecer en el Valle Rosa son increíbles. Los guías son muy amables y te ayudan a subir y bajar. Muy recomendado para familias.
I appreciated that the groups were small. We weren't in a huge caravan of 50 camels, so it felt more personal. The guide explained a bit about the history of the Silk Road where camels were used for transport. Educational and fun.
We went in winter and the camels had their thick winter coats, they looked very fluffy and cute. It was cold but the experience was worth it. The snow on the ground contrasted with the beige rocks. A very different kind of safari.
