Meet the dedicated professionals behind Desert Leap Safari, working together to deliver safe, well-organized, and memorable desert experiences in Dubai.
Desert safari
Meet Our Team: a small, hands-on group of licensed guides and operators who plan, drive, and host every desert safari, city tour, and cruise we run in Dubai. From our founder to our operations lead, everyone on this page is directly involved in your booking, your pickup, and your day in the dunes — not a call center, a real team you can message before you travel. If you have questions before you book, you can reach either of us directly through the contact page instead of waiting on a generic support queue.Meet Our Team
Meet Our Team: The People Behind Every Desert Safari
Shahzad Iqbal
CEO
Founder and CEO of Desert Leap Safari, leading premium desert safari and adventure experiences across Dubai with a strong focus on safety, service quality, and customer satisfaction.
Shahzad founded Desert Leap Safari to bring licensed, DTCM-approved desert safaris to Dubai visitors, and still reviews every itinerary, vehicle, and guide personally before it reaches a guest. He is hands-on with supplier vetting, pricing, and training new guides, which is why the packages listed on this site match what guests actually experience in the desert.
Tufail Ahmed
Opration Manager
Tufail Ahmed oversees daily tour operations at Desert Leap Safari, ensuring smooth coordination between drivers, guides, and guests. He plays a key role in maintaining service quality, on-time pickups, and a safe, well-organized desert safari experience across Dubai.
Before joining the team, Tufail worked across hospitality and logistics in the UAE, and today he is usually the first person to answer if a pickup runs late or a plan needs to change on the day. He also trains new drivers and guides on the same safety checklist for every vehicle and camp, so the standard you get on a Tuesday morning safari is the same one you get on a busy Friday evening.
