Since this is a 6-day private safari, you can decide how long to stay at each sighting. You might spend an hour watching an elephant family bathe in the river. A surprising highlight is often spotting a leopard resting high in a baobab tree, away from the busier tracks. You will head to your lodge for a private dinner in the evening.
