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.
This departure runs as a private trip: your own vehicle and guide for the whole circuit, rather than being grouped with other travelers you haven't met.
| 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. The exact meal plan for each day is set out in the itinerary, with full board on all days spent inside the parks. |
