We would book basic but neat and clean non-AC accommodations in lodges/homestays/hotels, standard meals, non-AC basic vehicles, and local guides/naturalists. We will also plan it in a way so that optimum seat fill-up in safari vehicles can save some cost.

We would book AC accommodations in luxury resorts with facilities like a swimming pool, spa, gym, etc., lavish buffet spreads and 6-course meals, AC luxury SUVs, and a dedicated naturalist for the entire duration. Each safari vehicle will accommodate fewer people so that everyone can have the luxury of space. At a few locations, wherever possible, we will book modified safari vehicles which cost high but are much better for wildlife viewing and photography.
