Give the landscape time

Build your visit around a permitted activity rather than a rushed crossing. Ask which visitor gate, guide and vehicle arrangements apply, and whether early departures or overnight stays suit the agreed route. Wildlife sightings depend on conditions; they are never promised.

Before you visit

Confirm conservation fees, activity permits and any restrictions separately. Keep wildlife at a respectful distance and follow the instructions of the responsible ranger or guide.

Confirm entry, the exact visiting point and any required guide or permission with the travel team.
