Overview
Accommodation throughout is comfortable lodges or permanent tented camps with private en-suite bathrooms, with a private or shared pop-up-roof 4x4 and driver-guide. This tier is the most requested tier for first-time safari travelers — a real step up in comfort over camping, without luxury-lodge pricing.
This itinerary is weighted toward the parks and game drive timing that give the best realistic chance of spotting all of the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino — on a single trip.
| Accommodation | Comfortable lodges or permanent tented camps with private en-suite bathrooms throughout the 3-day safari. Full board is included throughout, with lodge or camp dining rather than packed meals. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included on full safari days, with lighter arrangements on arrival and departure days. |

| Meals | Meals are provided according to the itinerary and package inclusions. |
