Stop at a scenic spot for sundowners, where you can enjoy gin and tonic with snacks while watching the gorgeous African sun go down before continuing on a night drive.

You will be back at your lodge or camp at around 19:30-20:00 at the latest, right in time for dinner.

On this full day out together, you will get to know each other better, and your guide will gain a good idea of which animals you would particularly like to photograph as your photographic

Your third full day together will be fun and educational. Your guide will share as many facts about the animals as possible, and some of them are certain to surprise you.

At 09:00, there will be the now usual tea, coffee, and cookies break.

At 10:30, you will return to your lodge or camp to pack and get ready to move to the next lodge after lunch.

This day will be all about what you want to see and what questions you have. Your guide will try to answer all of them and will delight you with stories of the bush.

This day can either be a regular day in the bush or offer you the chance to make it a little different. It is also your last full day together. By then, you will have shared plenty of stories, so you are encouraged to ask as many remaining questions as you may have.

You may see many children in the Mfuwe area who have never been inside the park, even though it is right on their doorstep. You are offered Impact Safaris, during which guests can choose to take 2 to 4 of these children out on drives with them. They may join you in the morning, in the afternoon, or both, giving them the extraordinary opportunity to take part in an activity usually reserved for tourists.
