Put location first

A stay’s position should support your route, not pull it in another direction. Ask how the proposed location fits the day’s wildlife viewing and the next destination. Decide whether you prefer fewer moves or the variety of changing landscapes.

Compare the experience, not just the room

Think about the atmosphere you enjoy: a quieter camp, a lodge with more facilities or a place where time in the room is part of the holiday. Ask about dining, power arrangements and the practical details that influence your comfort.

Confirm what is being offered

Review the exact room category and meal plan. If the itinerary allows a similar property, ask how the substitute will be agreed. Keep your accommodation preferences clear, but allow your planner to suggest alternatives when location or availability makes them more suitable.
