BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Stay in the vehicle
Every part of the safety of a game drive rests on this. An animal reads a jeep as one large object it knows; a person standing beside it is something else entirely. Do not step out for a photograph, not even briefly, not even when it looks calm.
Quiet is the whole technique
Voices carry further than people expect and nothing you want to see will stay for them. Phones on silent, and no calling out to move an animal into a better position.
Never feed anything
An animal that associates vehicles with food stops behaving like a wild animal, and the ones that do usually end up destroyed. It is illegal in Indian national parks and it is the single most damaging thing a visitor can do.
Dull colours, no scent
Greens, browns and greys. Bright clothing and strong perfume both announce you a long way off.
The gate times are not flexible
Indian parks run fixed morning and afternoon slots with hard entry and exit times, a daily cap on vehicles, and no movement inside after dark. Your permit is issued against a specific zone and slot.
No flash, and no drones
Flash photography at close range distresses animals and is banned in most reserves. Drones require written permission that is almost never given.

Route planning was the strong point — long days, but the stops were in the right places.

Reply from Meridian Overland

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Gobi & Orkhon on two wheels is the way to see it. No complaints about the organisation. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. No hesitation recommending them.

Route planning was the strong point — long days, but the stops were in the right places. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Solid operator.

One of the bikes had problems from day two and the spare took a while to arrive.

Days were longer than advertised and we arrived after dark more than once. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Questions people ask

Not on this trip. The Kazakh eagle hunters are in Bayan-Olgii in the far west, about 1,700 km from the Gobi and reached by a separate flight. Combining them honestly needs eleven or twelve days.
