Things to Consider / Tips

 

Self-Catering Nature: Since it’s self-catering, you’ll need to handle meals (or arrange meal services). If you prefer full board or guided safari style lodge experience, check what additional services are offered.

 

Vehicle Hire for Game Drives: To benefit from game-driving inside the reserve you’ll likely need to hire the vehicle. Verify whether vehicles, guides and game-drive available (extra fees apply).

 

Check Access & Reserve Rules: Since it’s in a nature reserve, check on the access times, rules (e.g., speed limits, safety, wildlife viewing).

 

Budget & Seasonality: Rates vary by season, day of week; weekend vs mid-week might differ. Ensure you confirm the rate for the dates you plan.

 

Children & Age Suitability: If travelling with children, check the age policy (game drives might have restrictions), and whether activities for kids are available.
