We are here for you, our years of experience and our knowledge make us experts, so please respect all our indications, your safety and the safety of all the animals is above all.
Ask us a Lot of Questions
There is nothing more rewarding than being able to pass on our knowledge of wildlife to our guests ,ask us any questions, even the silliest questions can have a surprising answer.
Wake Up Early
Wake up early, to wake up and feel the Savannah dawn is special, to have breakfast when the day is still rising is to feel the African Magic.
Take your time to Enjoy the Amazing Wildlife
Observing the African Savannah has a sometimes numbing effect. Stop, listen and look around, enjoy every second and take lots of pictures. Bring your best Camera!
