Rakši offers camel rides, walks with llamas, hands-on lemur feeding, and many other activities.
At the "Camel Cafe," visitors can enjoy healthy pancakes and exquisite camel milk ice cream, as well as Moroccan food cooked over a fire in tajines.
In the souvenir shop, you can find camel milk cosmetics, various knitted items made from camel, llama, and alpaca wool, as well as blankets filled with the wool of these animals.
Rakši also produces organic fertilizer for gardeners and flower growers, which is made from camel, llama, and alpaca manure.
The "Rakši" Concept Hotel is decorated in a Moroccan style, featuring many Eastern cultural interior elements; moreover, camels can be seen at every turn within the hotel – in wall decorations, paintings, ornaments, and even on the furniture.
