This is a private safari with our highly experienced wildlife guide. We use a large high seated vehicle with opening large windows which is perfect for animal viewing and photography but still very comfortable for getting you from and back to the airport. If you want to add an open safari vehicle (OSV) then we can arrange this too. Spend at least 5 hours on a safari, reaching distant parts of the reserve. You will see many wild animals, perhaps the Big 5, and eat lunch at a Bakubung safari lodge, with wild animals close by in view. It will complete your real African experience!
