Overview
This 3-day lodge-based safari is often booked as the final stretch of a longer trip — a shorter add-on with a day set aside for a community-focused program, rather than another full day of game drives.
Cost varies with how many people are traveling, how many days, and the level of comfort you're after, so we'll put together pricing once we know what you have in mind.
