About this tour

Two nights gives you a full day in the middle with nothing to rush. You do the canoe and walk in the cool morning, rest through the heat, and head into the grasslands by jeep in the afternoon.

Arrival and departure days get lighter activities: a village walk, sunset at the river and the elephant breeding center if you want to see working elephants and their calves.

This is the package we suggest when people ask how long to stay.

  • Half-day jeep safari in the national park
