So don’t let the distances scare you, anybody can make it as we have plenty of support following the group at all times.

Limited group size
In an effort to not dilute anyone’s experience, each tour is limited to just 30 riders. We are dealing with wild animals that get spooked easily, less people means less noise and the more chance of viewing the mighty Big 5.
