You might start out thinking that a safari is a once in a lifetime thing. And, likely on that bittersweet journey from your last lodge to home, you'll probably start working out how you can do your next safari, no matter the cost.
Ha! You’ll notice I mentioned “our next safari” (2018). To be fair, it’s been 13 years since our last one.

Btw, you’ll want to plan AT LEAST a year out for booking purposes. These camps are small and fill up quickly. You’ll also want to spend time carefully researching seasons and weather.
