The first option is a short safari. This will take about 4 hours and you are in the jeep with a maximum of 7 people. With your back, you will sit to the side of the jeep. This safari will start around 13.00 p.m. and finish around 17.00 p.m.
The second option is a full day safari. The jeep is more comfortable as you have better seats and a private car. This trip will start early in the morning and you will finish around the same time as the short drive.
