What You Should Know Before Hiring a Safari Guide
Always verify that the safari guide given to you is skilled and educated about your safari interests as you arrange your safari.

Unlike self-drive safaris, where tourists must search for wildlife on their own, on a guided safari, the safari guide leads the guests on the game drive, which is done in well-maintained 4WD vehicles and each of our clients is guaranteed a window seat.
Professional guides will direct you to the exact regions where you will observe the many animals that you like to see during activities such as game drives. In addition to several other species that you may not have spotted on your own.

Tipping is one of the most difficult yet commonly requested questions by many of our clients. Tipping is up to the tourist, however, you should consider tipping an amount that is worth it in the local currency. Dollars and euros, on the other hand, are generally accepted.
