I think you pay the park fee per day no matter what, becuase you are staying in the park. Pretty sure you can't get out of that.
Our only reason to be there was for the game drives, so we wanted that maximized. The least we did in a day was probalby 6-7 hours (split in two). We did mulitple full day, 6 AM to 7PM straight through. It was exhausting for sure, but it was totally amazing. For us, we would not have wanted to do any less on game drives, but by the end of 5 nights we were pretty wiped out.
Our driver, Jacob, was incredible. He was so good at getting us in the prime viewing spot for EVERTHING, Leapord, Lions and cubs (being carried in Mama's mouth), Rhino .... One day we probably saw 30-40 lions. It was amazing.
