Everything travellers usually ask before booking this safari.
Public campsites are basic but functional — shared ablution blocks, a cook preparing meals at camp, and the same incredible park access as lodge-based safaris.
Possibly — this is a shared-vehicle departure, which is how we keep costs down. We can also arrange a private vehicle on the same route for a supplement.
