As mentioned we like to get up early on safari; we’re on wildlife time now and want to make the most of their day. We’ll leave our city schedule behind as the morning wake-up call stirs us from our sleep.

For a moment you might have forgotten where you are but the sounds of the birds and calls of nearby monkeys, hippos, or big cats will quickly remind you that you are definitely on safari.

Some coffee, tea, and a light bite will get you fortified for the brisk early morning air as you pile into your 4 x 4 Jeep with your guide for several hours of game viewing. You’ll see the many grazers emerge into the day – wildebeests, zebra, gazelle, antelope, and perhaps some predators as well – hyena, jackal, or the big cats.
