Day 5
5 breakfasts and 1 dinner across 6 days, at camp. It opens with dinner on day 1 and closes with breakfast on day 6.
6 meal services named in the itinerary. Vegetarian and vegan covered; Jain, gluten-free and allergies on notice at booking
Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. No hesitation recommending them.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Good value for what's included.
