Questions
Will we see the Big Five?
Many guests do, but wildlife is wild. Your guide reads the park each morning and goes where the animals are, which gives you the best chance.
What time do game drives start?
Usually soon after sunrise and again in the late afternoon, when animals are most active. Midday is for rest and lunch.
What should I pack?
Neutral clothes, a warm layer for early mornings, a hat, sunscreen, binoculars and a camera. We send a full list after booking.
Is the trip private or shared?
Either. Choose a private trip with your own guide and vehicle, or join a small shared group. Tell us which you prefer when you ask for a quote.
Can I change my dates?
Yes, for free until 60 days before you travel. After that we will help where we can, but suppliers may charge.
