Overview
Accommodation throughout is premium lodges or luxury tented camps, often with private decks or plunge pools, with a private pop-up-roof 4x4 exclusively for your group and driver-guide. This tier is built around top-tier camps, a private vehicle for the whole trip, and a slower, more indulgent pace between game drives.
Game drive timing on this departure favors early-morning and late-afternoon light, with more flexible stops for photographers rather than a fixed drive-and-return schedule.
| Accommodation | Premium lodges or luxury tented camps, often with private decks or plunge pools throughout the 10-day safari. Full board dining is included, typically with a la carte or set-menu service rather than a standard camp mess tent. Most days include all three meals; arrival and departure days typically include breakfast and lunch only. |
