    Yes. Flowers, towel decorations, fruit, cake, a personalised message or another setup may be requested. The exact service, cost and design depend on the confirmed lodge or camp.

    3. Is private dining available?

    Some premium properties can arrange a private table, bush meal or special dinner setting. Availability depends on weather, staffing, safety and property policy, and additional charges may apply.

    The private vehicle made the experience feel personal from the beginning. We did not have to follow another couple’s schedule or wildlife interests.
