We will arrive in time for lunch. Check in at the camp and have lunch. Go on an afternoon game drive through the park in search of lion, cheetah, elephant, buffalo and other members of the Big Five, plus other animals. Return to Talek Riverside Camp for your overnight stay.

The safari guide and driver will do most of the chores at the camp; clients can take part in setting up their tent or cooking if they have a special way they wish their food to be prepared. Clients can also assist in loading and offloading luggage from the car if they are willing to.
