WHAT IS A TYPICAL DAY ON SAFARI LIKE?

Saruni Basecamp creates safari itineraries tailor-made to every guest’s preferences. We aim 
to always provide the most authentic safari experience by allowing our guests to participate 
in several activities. Some of these activities are, however, consistent across most of our safari programs.

6:30 AM Wakeup call: After coffee or tea and a quick bite, head out into the bush. Accompanied 
by our skilled guides through the bush for 3-4 hours you search for wildlife and learn about animal behaviour and the environment. 

10:00/10:30 AM breakfast and siesta: Head back to the camp where you will have a hearty 
breakfast served under spreading acacia and fig trees. The rest of the morning provides you time to relax or join one of the guides on a camp walk.

12:30 PM Lunch: the dining schedule can be easily adjusted to meet your personal preferences. Savor freshly prepared cuisine from our local recipes. After lunch, you can remain in your tented camp enjoying the surrounding landscape.  

4:00 PM Afternoon Game Drive: After a well-deserved rest, you will venture back in the bush 
with your guide. During your afternoon game ou’ll spend a few hours watching the wildlife and 
exploring the vast savannah further;

6:30 PM Sundowner: As the sun sinks lower in the sky and conditions begin to cool, gaze at the vivid African sunset. Enjoy sundowners at a scenic spot with selected drinks served under an 
acacia tree. Afterward you’ll either do a night drive or be whisked back to camp for dinner and a gathering around a campfire;

7:00 PM Night Game Drive: The afternoon game drive turns into a night game drive. Your guide 
will equip the vehicle with red-filtered UV light and a spotlight to help you to spot a range of 
nocturnal wildlife.

8:30 PM Dinner & Campfire: You return to camp where a 3-course dinner will be served, before 
enjoying a well-earned drink at the bar or as you wind up the day at the campfire. As you retire to your tent, enjoy the sounds of the bush and the sight of millions of stars in the night sky
