Cynthia’s 2-Day Safari

This is a curated desert immersion experience especially tailored for couples, families, and friends.  Wondering together about something unknown is an ancient form of human connection.  Our hybrid tech-free zone set in an ancient desert landscape makes this happen.  What interests you about the desert?  Geology, landscape photography, heritage of the American Southwest, wildlife, railroad, and mining history?  Want to focus on hiking, road touring, stargazing, hot springs soaking or simply relax and recharge in a pristine desert landscape?  What is your takeaway?  Discover, unplug, connect, relax, be thrilled, be free?  How active would you like to be?   Cynthia will sort this out for you at your pace and for your desired takeaway.

YOUR ROOM

Cynthia’s Basecamp offers a variety of guest rooms interwoven to be adjoined or to stand alone.  Cynthia will configure your room(s) according to group size and preferences. 

YOUR MEALS

Prefix menus are designed with guest dietary restrictions in mind, such as allergies and medical conditions. Meals can be tailored to meat-eaters, vegetarians, or vegans.

BOOKING YOUR SAFARI

Our base rate is the same for one or two people. Additional guests in your party can be added at the end of the booking process just before payment options.

Once you arrive, you will get a better feel for the area and your desired takeaway along with the current weather conditions, which often dictates the timing of your itinerary.  Be sure to bring layers of clothing, a headlamp, closed toe shoes, and water bottles (2 liters per person at least).  We provide all gear needed for your guided off-road adventure. You will be driving our desert vehicles. There is Wi-Fi at Cynthia’s Basecamp, but no cell phone reception within a 40-mile radius.  Your room is like a standard hotel room…only in the middle of desert.  Basecamp has a common room with a shared guest fridge.  Your region of exploration is half the size of Belgium, population 435.  There is little human development, most are remnants from the gold rush and mining heyday.  Full moonscapes are epic, our dark night skies are indescribable.

We accept credit and debit cards. Payment in full is required to secure your booking. We have a 21-day cancellation policy. For additional information, please visit our Terms of Service page.
