Useful information

- Travel pace: Roads can be rough and dusty. Driving times are estimates, excluding extended game viewing and park formalities. Share your flight details, children’s ages, mobility needs and dietary requirements when enquiring.

- Before departure: Check current passport, visa and entry-insurance requirements. Read our insurance guidance; entry insurance does not replace comprehensive travel insurance.
