We are able to vary the price of this trip considerably, simply by swapping out the lodges that it contains. This is likely to have a very significant effect on the level of polish of the trip, but in all cases it will remain cool and authentic. Make your selection here and the lodges will automatically change in the itinerary below.
USD 7050 per person
This trip includes really good quality properties, perhaps without the intense polish of the very top lodges, but also without the premium price tag.
