Is this suitable for first-time safari travellers?
Yes — the mobile safari format is immersive but fully guided and supported. Your guide and camp team manage all logistics so you can focus entirely on the experience.
What fitness level is required?
Standard game drives require no particular fitness. Guided walks require moderate fitness. Mokoro excursions are gentle and accessible for most guests.
Is the mokoro excursion guaranteed?
The mokoro excursion is water-level dependent. It typically operates June–October when Delta water levels are highest. Your guide will advise based on conditions.
