Days 3-5
:
Game drives, walks or boat trips
Over the next three days the pattern of each day may vary a little according to the activities, but is essentially based on the same pattern: an early start with a light breakfast, followed by a morning vehicle safari, walk or boat trip, returning to camp in time for an early lunch. After some down time (and maybe a siesta?), you’ll take afternoon tea before setting out on a late afternoon activity.
It is possible that you might spend an entire day out in the bush - in which case you'll go equipped with an ample picnic lunch and cool drinks. In the early evening, following a sundowner out on the plains, you return to the camp by nightfall.
