Quad or buggy in the desert: which to choose?
Many travelers add a motorized activity to their safari day. Here is how to choose between quad and buggy, with no nasty surprises.
The quad
The quad is driven alone, with great sensations in the dunes. It requires a bit of concentration, an active position and a firm grip. It is an excellent choice for adults and teens who love adventure.
The buggy
The buggy is more stable and often shared among several people: the driver and one or more passengers live the experience together. It is more reassuring for families and for those who prefer not to hold handlebars.
Comparison

|---|---|---|
| Thrills | Very high | High, more stable |
