Questions,
answered.
How long should I stay?
3–4 nights is a suggested starting point, adjusted to your interests and the wider route.
Are sightings guaranteed?
No. Wildlife moves freely, and weather and habitat affect visibility. Experienced guiding and enough time in the field improve the experience without promising a particular encounter.
