Admission policies vary by operator; this private safari includes a 4x4 with an English-speaking tracker, but confirm whether park entry fees are included at booking.
Tracks can be bumpy; vehicles are 4x4s with experienced drivers and trackers—follow their safety briefings and remain seated during drives.
