Questions about this trip

What makes a camp luxury rather than mid-range?

Location inside private concessions, guest numbers under twenty, a butler per tent, proper beds and plumbing, and a kitchen that would hold its own in a city. It also buys you off-road driving and night drives that national park rules forbid.

Can you arrange a private charter?

Yes. We charter Cessna Caravans for private groups, which removes airstrip hopping and lets you set your own departure times.
