Pickup and Reporting
Always leave a buffer. The goal is not to arrive exactly on time; the goal is to arrive early enough for pickup and gate verification.
Which Stay Works Best
Stays that are easy for pickup vehicles to reach usually work best. A centrally located or safari-side hotel is often more practical than a hotel that looks good but is hard to access.
How to Use This on Travel Day
If you are arriving by train, road, or a transfer service, match that arrival with the safari slot before confirming the final plan.
