Question 1

When is the best time to go?

Accepted Answer

The dry winter months (April to September) are best due to the diminished vegetation density that allows for better visibility.

Question 2

What to Bring?

Accepted Answer

Cotton clothing in neutral colours is recommended. It is advisable to avoid light and/or dark colors as they tend to attract biting insects. We recommend you pack a warm jacket for early morning operations, helicopter flights, and game drives.  Pack a pair of comfortable walking shoes (hiking boots are preferable).  A few good pairs of cotton socks are also advisable. Swimming costume/bathing suits, sun block, sun hat, sunglasses. Mosquito repellent is supplied, but if you have a prefered brand then please feel free to bring your own. Dressing gowns and towels are provided. Please note that formal wear is not required at any of our lodges.
