Insights
Fly or drive on safari? Compare the whole transfer day
A flight that looks short on a timetable and a road journey that looks long on a map are not yet a fair comparison. Your safari day begins at one accommodation and ends at another, with luggage, meals, check-in and local transfers in between.
One safari base or two: when changing camp adds value
Two camps do not necessarily create two different safari experiences. They may provide access to different habitats, activities or parts of a large wildlife area.
Comparing two safari quotations when the totals look similar
Two safari quotations can finish at almost the same total and still describe very different holidays.
Full-day game drive or a return to camp for lunch?
A packed lunch is a decision about the shape of your safari day.

How to write a useful first safari enquiry
A useful safari enquiry explains the holiday you need, not just the places you have heard of.
Open vehicle, pop-up roof or closed transfer vehicle: ask about each leg

Tented camp or lodge: compare comfort without relying on the label
A tented room can have a substantial bed, a private bathroom and carefully planned service.

A room described as suitable for four people may still be unsuitable for the way your family needs to sleep.
