    It is best to visit Inkwenkwezi's website for tarriffs. We found them reasonable, since meals and gamedrives are inclusive of their prices. You only pay extra for drinks and additional activities.

    Sorry I can't answer your question. You need to contact the reserve management for the answer. I should have thought it would be on their web site. I was only a visitor for one day and had lunch there.
