      You are more than welcome to book the optional activities while on tour with the help of the CEO. Some suppliers only take cash and others only take card, but the CEO will be able to advise you beforehand (on day 1) so that you can prepare. The suppliers usually only take local currency.

      For the optional Chobe Safari Day Trip (from Victoria falls), will we go as a small group? Or you would pass us to a third party vendor? Do CEOs go with us?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten September 2025

      This trip will be in a 6-8 seater open safari vehicle and will be with a local safari guide. The CEO will usually not go on this activity
