      I had a look at the itinerary before and there is no walking safari included so we were wondering if it was possible.

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten March 2024

      I reached out to our local operators to check whether it's possible for you to do this Safari during this tour.

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten March 2024

      Safari & Nature walk is included in the tour.
