Opt for casual, neutral-colored attire – often referred to as “bush casual.” Sunscreen and hats are essential year-round. Don’t forget your swimming trunks, and make sure to pack a reliable pair of walking shoes. In winter – please pack warm clothes – its much cooler on the back of a game viewer than you realise- trust me! 

It’s crucial to have proper travel and medical insurance in place – unforeseen situations can arise at any time. If you’re on any medication, ensure you bring an adequate supply.

Should you have unique interests or particular requests (like a double bed or celebrating a special occasion), kindly inform the camp/lodge or tour operator when making your booking.

All rates include accommodation, meals, tea/coffee, specified activities, and select locally branded drinks at designated properties.

If you have specific dietary requirements, please provide this information to the respective camps and lodges as soon as your safari is confirmed.

Indeed, most camps and lodges lack fencing. It’s vital to adhere to the safety instructions provided at each camp or lodge to ensure your security.

Yes, the same safaris are available year-round, though different rates apply in different seasons. You might need to budget slightly more for certain seasons.

No, there’s a difference. Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe consider July to the end of October as their peak season, while South Africa’s peak season is the opposite.

This is an excellent question, one that occasionally makes me ponder as well. The practical reason is that game viewing is deemed better when the bush is driest and rainfall is minimal. Between July and October (winter in the region), game congregates near water sources, facilitating easier wildlife spotting.

Malaria should be taken seriously, but it’s manageable if approached with care. Please be aware that northern Botswana, Kruger National Park, Lower Zambezi, and Victoria Falls are malaria-prone areas. Ensure that clients consult a physician or medical advisor before their departure.
