Update from our wildlife conservation volunteering holiday in Dubai (UAE) working on oryx, wildcat and desert species
We’re here. It’s the usual dash to get ready and we will be. There’s six of us dashing (see picture below).
The sun is shining, bathing the desert in earthy colours of red, brown and yellow. The sky is azure, the birds are singing and the gazelles and oryx are doing their thing in the desert. Camp is noisy. Last night there were diggers for the water project nearby, destroying the desert silence and keeping some of us awake. They work 24/7 sometimes close to camp, so bring ear plugs!
The schedule is ready (see below), so come prepared for an expedition, not some cushy desert holiday.
Safe travels. See you soon, group 1.
