Upon checking in the two of you will get picked up by a guide in a Landrover and driven along the dirt roads to your cabin.
Your driver will bring your luggage into your tent for you and familiarize you with the Velcro windows, electric blanket, and
space heater. A cooler on your patio is stocked with iced bottled water, since the afternoon hours can be reminiscent of a
warm African safari.
Enjoy dinner with your fellow campers in a family-style buffet setting. Dine on barbecue chicken and salmon fillet,
cooked over an open-pit barbecue. After dinner, watch some younger guests throw chicken into the lake as the catfish
jump up to retrieve their food. It’s quite entertaining! At night, be sure to keep the door to your bathroom closed.
The bathroom’s open-air venting will really cool down your tent at night when the mountain air dips down to surprisingly
low temperatures. You may not think you’ll use your electric blanket, but you’ll be glad it’s there!
In the morning, embark on a Jeep tour with one of Safari West’s fantastic, entertaining guides. You are sure to see
giraffes, several different kinds of antelope, rhinoceros, ostrich and Watusi cattle. If you’re lucky, you’ll also be
able to see the often elusive impalas, zebras and cape buffalo. After the Jeep tour, your guide will lead you on a
walking tour, where you’ll get to visit the aviary, see a cheetah and watch the monkeys play. Your tour guide is
incredibly knowledgeable and fun and you’re sure to pick up some wild new animal facts!
