The journey
What these days are for
A private vehicle with a roof that stays open, timed for cats or for river crossings in season. Dawn starts. File review over a sundowner if you want it. We do not fill the fourth seat.
Prices are per person sharing, in low-to-shoulder lodge categories, before international flights. Park fees move; we reconfirm them on the invoice, not in a footnote after you have paid.
