Overview

More time than a half day, less than a full day

Morning Plus gives you six hours of active park exploration. You start at gate opening, when animals are most active, and have time to travel deeper along different tracks instead of rushing back after four hours.

You are back at your hotel around 12.30 PM, so you still have the afternoon free. In Block 5/6 there is also an extended afternoon session from 12 PM to 6 PM.

Wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, but more hours in the park means better odds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Morning Plus and Half Day?

Half Day gives you 4 hours in the park (6–10 AM). Morning Plus extends this to 6 hours (6 AM–12 PM), so you can go deeper and see more.

Why is there no afternoon session in Block 1?

In Block 1 the mid-day break rule applies from 12 to 2 PM. In Block 5/6 there is no such rule, so an extended 12–6 PM session is possible.

Are tickets and food included?

No. Park entrance fees are separate (we can help you buy them) and you should bring your own breakfast or snacks.

Can I pay after the safari?

Yes, you have the option to pay after the safari.

Can children join?

Yes. Children under 5 years old join free of charge.
