It may be altered on safari depending on what we encounter along the way and game sightings. Most of our safaris include a two or three night stay at some of the camps. This allows plenty of time to explore the surrounding area.
A certain amount of physical agility is required as you will need to board and disembark boats in natural wetland areas, however we will assist you if necessary.
