Three ways into the wild from each of our cities — a quick predator park, a full Big Five day, or an overland stay-over in the real bush. Shared seats or a private vehicle, arranged around your dates.
On conservation fees: park and reserve conservation fees are billed separately and at cost — we add no margin to the money that protects these wild places. Overland options include a night (or more) in the bush; a vehicle add-on applies to every out-of-city drive.
