A typical safari day* is structured to maximize wildlife viewing opportunities while providing comfort and relaxation at your lodge. Each day on safari is designed to immerse you in the wild beauty of Africa while ensuring your comfort and enjoyment throughout the adventure. Here’s what you can expect:
06:00 | Wake-Up Your day starts early with a wake-up call from your ranger, accompanied by a fresh cup of coffee to energise you for the morning ahead.
06:30 – 10:00 | Morning Game Drive The early morning hours are prime for wildlife viewing, with cooler temperatures and active animal behaviour. You’ll embark on a game drive with your knowledgeable safari guide, who will navigate off-road trails to seek out the best game sightings. For a unique experience, some mornings may include a ‘bush breakfast’ set up in the wilderness.
11:00 – 15:30 | Midday at the Lodge After returning to the lodge for breakfast, the midday hours are yours to relax. Whether you choose to rest, read, or simply enjoy the surroundings, you’ll have ample time to unwind. Lunch will be served at the lodge, followed by free time to spend as you wish.
16:00 – 19:00 | Afternoon to Evening Game Drive Later in the afternoon, you’ll gather for coffee or high tea before departing on the afternoon game drive. This drive extends into the early evening, enhancing your chances of spotting nocturnal animals as they become more active.
19:00 – Late | Evening Activities As the sun sets, you’ll enjoy relaxing sundowners in the bush before heading back to the lodge for dinner. The evening concludes with a debrief over a glass of wine, discussing the day’s sightings and experiences.* This schedule is a general guideline to give you an idea of what a typical day on safari might look like.
