Frequent Asked Question

How fit do I need to be?

No special fitness level is required. Game drives are conducted from a comfortable 4×4 vehicle. You will do only short walks at picnic stops.

What is the best time of year for this safari?

The dry season—June through October—offers the most reliable wildlife viewing, as animals concentrate around water sources. However, shoulder months (May & November) can offer fewer crowds and lush scenery.

Can children join this safari?

Yes. Most lodges accept children aged 6 and above. Younger children may not be permitted on game drives due to safety regulations. Please let us know ages in advance so we can arrange appropriate accommodation and guide seating.

What should I pack?

We recommend:

  • Lightweight, neutral-colored clothing (khaki, olive, tan)
  • A warm layer for early‑morning and late‑afternoon drives
  • Sun protection: hat, sunglasses, high‑SPF sunscreen
  • Comfortable walking shoes or lightweight hiking boots
  • Binoculars and a camera with extra batteries/memory cards
  • Insect repellent and any personal medications
  • A small daypack for essentials

Are meals flexible for dietary restrictions?

Yes. Please inform us of any vegetarian, vegan, gluten‑free, or other dietary requirements at the time of booking so our lodge chefs can prepare accordingly.
