FAQ SECTION
What Counts as a 'Malaria-Free' Destination?
Reserves with zero recorded cases over decades, due to high altitude, dry climates, or rigorous vector control programs—no prophylaxis ever needed.
Are Children Allowed on Game Drives?
Yes, most lodges welcome ages 6+ with tailored junior ranger activities, booster seats, and shorter evening outings for family comfort.
How Do Costs Compare to Riskier Reserves?
FAQ
Prices align closely, but exclusivity and premium amenities often justify the value for hassle-free stays.
What's the Best Time to Book?
Dry winters (May–Sep) concentrate animals at waterholes; green summers (Oct–Apr) bring birdlife and newborn sightings.
Do I Still Need Insect Repellent?
Recommended for general mosquitoes or ticks—lodges supply DEET-free options and long-sleeve gear for dusk outings.
Can I Combine with Urban Trips?
Yes. There are many options. Enquire with our consultants. For example, you could Fly from Johannesburg to Madikwe (1-hour drive) or Waterberg, then connect to Cape Town for a balanced itinerary.
