BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Stay in the vehicle
Every part of the safety of a game drive rests on this. An animal reads a jeep as one large object it knows; a person standing beside it is something else entirely. Do not step out for a photograph, not even briefly, not even when it looks calm.
Quiet is the whole technique
Voices carry further than people expect and nothing you want to see will stay for them. Phones on silent, and no calling out to move an animal into a better position.
Never feed anything
An animal that associates vehicles with food stops behaving like a wild animal, and the ones that do usually end up destroyed. It is illegal in Indian national parks and it is the single most damaging thing a visitor can do.
Dull colours, no scent
Greens, browns and greys. Bright clothing and strong perfume both announce you a long way off.
The gate times are not flexible
Indian parks run fixed morning and afternoon slots with hard entry and exit times, a daily cap on vehicles, and no movement inside after dark. Your permit is issued against a specific zone and slot.
No flash, and no drones
Flash photography at close range distresses animals and is banned in most reserves. Drones require written permission that is almost never given.

About Acacia Line

Conservancy and park fees are in the headline price. Full-day drives with a packed lunch rather than two short ones broken by a hotel buffet.

Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Worth every rupee.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Would book with them again.

Dakar to the Saloum was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Solid operator.

Dakar to the Saloum was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings.

Sightings were thin on our dates, which is luck, but the drives felt rushed. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Questions people ask

November to March, when the Palearctic migrants are wintering there. Outside that window the numbers drop sharply and the park is much quieter.
