Tour leader throughout

Meals

All breakfasts, seven lunches and five dinners are included. In the itinerary, we state which meals are included on which day. The list below provides an indication of what these will consist of: Breakfast: Cereals, coffee, tea and toast, the occasional cooked breakfast Lunch: Cheese, cold meats, salads, bread or rolls Dinner: Potjies (stew), braais (barbecue), stir fries, pasta Where meals are not included, the leader will recommend a restaurant for a group meal. Dinners can cost on average £12‐18 ($20‐30) per person and lunches from £5 to £8 ($8 to $13). The tour leaders do all the shopping, meal planning and cooking for each group. They will purchase fresh produce wherever possible. Each tour has two cool boxes for meats and fresh produce and one cool box for cold drinks. We will supply the following drinks: fruit squash served with breakfast and tea or coffee served with breakfast and dinner. All other beverages will be at your own expense. Please note, on days when the group are on morning game walks or drives, we have an early morning cup of tea or coffee and rusks followed by the walk. Once we return to camp, we have a large brunch at around 11am. In the early afternoon, we have a snack-style lunch and dinner will be served after completion of the optional game drives. Please be aware, we need at least two weeks’ notice to deal with special dietary requirements (eg vegetarian or allergies). The water provided on this trip is safe and clean drinking water, normally from boreholes. It is not bottled water, however. If you would rather have bottled water then this will be at your expense, though we would encourage you to make use of the safe drinking water provided as this helps diminish plastic consumption.

Transport

Transport is by minibus fitted with forward-facing seats and towing a trailer for equipment and luggage. Game drives are in open-sided safari vehicles. Please note, drives in and out of Kruger National Park and Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park will be in the minibus but our other drives will be in the safari vehicles.

Accommodation

Throughout this trip, we stay in mostly three-star lodges and chalets. On two nights, the lodges are permanent tented camps. These are comfortable rooms with private bathrooms, but they are in part made out of canvas and are a quintessential African safari experience. While the lodges are not luxury properties, they are comfortable and in great locations. Most properties have a pool and wifi, although this is not always very reliable.
