Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything travellers usually ask before booking this safari.

What are the campsites actually like?

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.

Will I be grouped with strangers?

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.
