Questions
Are outings safe?
Yes. Walks are led by a trained ranger, vehicles stay on tracks, and we brief every group first.
Can I book a private drive?
Yes, from ₦120,000 for the vehicle and ranger, up to six guests.
What if we see nothing?
Wildlife is wild. If a dawn drive sees no large mammals, your next drive is free.
Make a weekend of it
Most guests stay two nights and do four outings.
