Hotels/lodges/camps where specifically named are given as an indication of the category, and rooms may be reserved at similar hotels/lodges/camps. We will advise you of any changes known to us prior to departure, but the possibility of change without notice, must be accepted when booking- even though it rarely happens. Single rooms are available at supplementary cost. Safari vehicles or shuttles will be provided according to the route and number of participants and as confirmed in your booking.
