Reduce unnecessary transfer fatigue
Ask how many hours are spent driving between parks, not only how many nights the trip lasts. Strategic flights or an extra night can sometimes improve the experience more than upgrading a room.
Discuss mobility before choosing lodges
Some camps have long walks, steps, uneven paths or rooms far from central areas. Share mobility considerations early so the planner can recommend suitable room locations and properties.
Private vehicles create flexibility
A private safari lets your group decide when to return to camp, spend longer at a sighting or shorten a game drive. That control can be particularly valuable when comfort and pacing matter.
Use this as planning guidance, not a fixed rule.
Seasonal conditions, park rules, fees, flight schedules and availability change. A dated itinerary should confirm the details that matter for your trip.
