Can we change the length or route?

Yes. This itinerary is a starting point. Share your preferred dates, pace and priorities and we will build a personal proposal.

Is the journey private?

Your proposed safari guiding and vehicle are private. Scheduled domestic flights and some lodge or optional activities can be shared; the proposal makes the distinction clear.

How do airport pickups work?

Send your confirmed flight details. Before travel we provide the meeting point, driver or local contact details and the transfer arrangements in your final documents.

Are the lodges and wildlife guaranteed?

No. Properties depend on availability and are confirmed before booking; animals, migration movement and weather cannot be guaranteed.

When do I pay?

An enquiry does not take payment or create a reservation. We first agree the route and quote, then provide the applicable payment and cancellation terms before you commit.
