Good to Know

· River crossings and specific encounters are natural events that cannot be guaranteed.

· Camp locations may change with the seasons — options are explained at planning stage.

Questions travellers ask

Can you guarantee we see a river crossing?

No one can honestly promise that. We position you where crossings are most likely within your window and let nature take its course.

When is the migration where?

Calving on the southern plains roughly December–March; northern movements and possible crossings July–October. Rain decides the details.
