Park Selection Framework
Choose park combinations based on your target sightings, transfer tolerance, and preferred accommodation style.
Flagship parks can be paired with lower-traffic conservancies to improve wildlife depth and reduce congestion during peak months.
Every card links to destination-level park sections so you can evaluate routes before requesting a custom plan.
For first-time safari planning, start with one core anchor ecosystem and one supporting ecosystem before adding optional extensions.
How to Build a Park Mix
Begin with your highest-priority wildlife objective, then select one ecosystem that gives strong probability for that objective.
Add a second ecosystem that introduces a different landscape and species profile while keeping transfer effort realistic for your total trip length.
If you have extra days, add a conservancy or low-traffic reserve for intimacy, specialist guiding, or premium photography conditions.
