What to expect on safari:
The day starts with a sun rise wake-up call of a gentle “koko” (knock knock in Setswana) at the entrance of your tent. A camp hand will be on hand to fill your wash-hand basin with steaming hot water and freshly made tea and coffee will be served around the campfire. A light breakfast will be served before the early morning game drive : tea, plunger coffee, juice, rusks, fruit, cereal, toast and preserves. The best time for game viewing is early morning before the animals retreat to the shadows in the heat of the day.
Return to camp for lunch taken in the shade of a tree. Lunch usually consisting of salads, freshly baked bread, cold meats, and pickles. Afterward, this is your time to enjoy reading, chatting, relaxing or taking a nap.
Meet again late afternoon for game drive, as the animals awake from their days rest and gather at the watering holes.
On return to camp, enjoy an open air hot shower before a two course dinner around the camp fire, served with South African wines. Dinner is usually a stew or barbeque style meal followed by a traditional pudding. After nightcaps around the fire, retire for the evening.
On moving days, the guide and the camp hand will pack down the camp, then travel to the next camp site and prepare the camp at the next location. When travelling between locations, the route is most commonly through the parks and reserves and is therefore an extension of your daily game drives. A picnic lunch can be enjoyed en-route.
