Overview
Accommodation throughout is budget camping or basic guesthouse-style accommodation, with a shared 4x4 safari vehicle and driver-guide. This tier is for travelers who want the full safari circuit at the lowest realistic price point, without sacrificing a qualified guide or the core game drives.
Vehicles on this departure are capped at a small number of guests, so you're not sharing game drives and sightlines with a full busload of other travelers.
