    On May 26th, we did the Hunt's Mesa overnight. What an experience. This was our second tour with Monument Valley Safari, and we had the chance to be with our original guide, Toney Begay. But there was a bonus to the trip. We got to drive with Toney's nephew "Ti" who turned out to be just as knowledgeable, personable, and entertaining as his Uncle. One cannot do justice to describe the views from atop the mesa. One has to experience it. I would highly recommend this overnight tour for those who genuinely want to experience the best of Monument Valley

    Wanted to do this trip for decades. Settled on MV Safaris because of reviews including quality of food for dinner and breakfast. Not disappointed! Tony our Navajo guide exceeded all expectations! Outstanding driver on the off road trail to the summit - another company’s vehicle got stuck! Knowledgeable about his indigenous history both in traditional beliefs and in modern land bridge human migrations theories from Central Asia. Sharing stories of being raised by his grandmother with traditional beliefs. He worked tirelessly for us - advising on photo locations, setting up camp including manually pumping up the sumptuous double air mattresses and then cooking a full dinner over campfire. Same in the morning up before sunrise cooking full breakfast and brewing “kick butt” cowboy coffee. Impressed by how he broke camp and removed all garbage apart from uneaten strawberries. A large raven appeared and waited patiently for our departure! One regret - not long enough to be in that location with this wonderful human being. Thank you Tony! 🙏

    It was a fantastic experience. Our guide was terrific. As a photographer, I was looking for unique perspectives of Monument Valley and he showed us an incredible vantage point for both sunset and the next morning's sunrise. There were three of us in the group. The sleeping accommodations were basic with a large tent and really worm sleeping bags, totally adequate for the one night we were there. We ate like kings with a full steak dinner (cooked to perfection over the fire pit) and eggs and sausage for breakfast. Excellent camp coffee as well. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you are a photographer.

    We are French Tourists and have spent one night at Hunts Mesa under tent camping with Toney. We did not imagine the amazing landscape above Monument Valley at sunset and sunrise. After the sunset, what a night under a fantastic sky with Milky-Way, a bbq around a fire, songs and tales of Navajo Nation then under camping tent. The same emotion the next early morning with sunrise. It has been a fantastic moment in our life. The course in 4X4 to Hunts Mesa is very spectacular, up and down rocks and sand. Impossible to guess where the good way could be. Tony is a skilful driver who knows every hill and dale. One suggestion to complete this moment: Toney, please think about indicating the place of restrooms when arriving at the campground before the night! Annie and Rene

    Where to begin? Well, the off-roading is very bouncy and a bit scary in parts. It caught us a bit off guard, it is very exhilarating. Don’t do this if you have back problems. But our driver and guides were just brilliant. You feel totally safe with them. The sunset view was wonderful. We were dropped off there for a few hours while our meals were being cooked on a fire back at camp. Sitting by the fire and chatting with our guides was wonderful. They’re so friendly and relaxed and I learned a lot about the culture. The sleeping bags are SO comfortable! I was worried I wouldn’t get a good night’s sleep but i had one of the best in that little tent! My only minor complaint was there weren’t any pillows provided, but I just used my jacket rolled up. In the night at about 1am the clouds finally cleared and I even managed to get some astrophotography done. This trip is a photographer’s dream. Sunrise was spectacular. Like jaw dropping. I can’t get over it. We had ample hours to take it all in. Everything is just so silent. So peaceful. Until the sun gets to a certain height and the birds start to sing. It’s incredible. Then there was another hair-raising drive down, which takes I think two hours each way? The way down was even more fun, sliding down sand dunes and skidding in sand. If you get the chance to do this trip absolute do it. You’ll be seeing everything away from commercialism and just how it was intended.
