Trip breakdown

What's included

Accommodation as per tier; all meals from dinner on Day 1 to breakfast on the final day; twice-daily game activities with a licensed guide; park and conservation fees; road transfers; bottled water in the vehicle; airport meet-and-greet.

Best season: Two distinct builds: Jan–Mar for calving in the south, or Jul–Oct for the northern river crossings. Both are excellent; they are not interchangeable. Confirm the build in writing. Pace and grading: Moderate. Long days in the vehicle when following the herds; mobile camps have simpler facilities than lodges. Ideal for: Migration specialists, wildlife photographers, repeat East Africa clients, small private groups. Accommodation tiers: CLASSIC: budget-friendly park rest camps or basic tented camps. COMFORT: mid-range safari lodges and permanent tented camps, en-suite, pool. LUXURY: high-end concession camps, private plunge pools, private vehicle and guide.

International and domestic airfare; visas and border fees; travel and medical insurance; gratuities to guides and camp staff; premium and imported drinks; optional activities (helicopter flips, rafting, spa, balloon); laundry unless stated; items of a personal nature.
