Children from age 6 are welcome; the tour suits all fitness levels.Is it for me?Choose the morning safari if you want to catch animals at their most active and fit the tour into a shorter day; pick the half-day or full-day option if you prefer more time in the park and a better chance of spotting a wider range of wildlife. The private jeep means the guide can adjust the route on the fly to follow animals and light, rather than sticking to a fixed itinerary.
