Your guide is an experienced professional guide and a Botswana native who grew up with these animals. You will be under constant protection and supervision both in the camp and on the game drives. Animals view tents and Safari vehicles as one large unit. During your safety briefings, we will explain to you not to stand up or step out of the vehicles out in the bush, because then the animals suddenly view you as an individual. At camp, you will always have staff around for any questions and for your comfort. At night, because you have ensuite toilets, you don't have to leave the safety of your tent.
