Keep your eyes open for elephants, lions, giraffes, and—if you’re lucky—the elusive leopard.

The next day is devoted to exploring more of this wildlife-rich landscape with both morning and afternoon game drives. Between drives, relax at your lodge, take in the views, and enjoy meals surrounded by nature.
