Equipment is carried in a trailer behind the vehicle. When in camp the trailer is removed and game drives are done in the vehicle.
Tents are heavy-duty canvas dome tents for 2 persons. Clients bring their own sleeping bag and a towel, but all other camp furniture and equipment, including a high density sleeping mattress, is provided.
Camps are set up on our own exclusive camp sites.
At each camp site we have staff who do the work like washing up, heating water for showers, doing the cooking and serving the food, but clients also help put up and take down their tents.
Our experienced safari cook travels with the safari. Food is of the same quality as in a luxury camp and is included in the price, (not bought through a 'kitty' like some other camping safaris).
Drinks other than mineral water are not included, but a stop is made en route to each camp to enable you to buy wine, beer or soft drinks as required.
