So Chels did a great job earlier of explaining the basics of what we’re doing here but that still doesn’t give a clear idea of what daily life is like so I’ll try to do that here.
We have two basic routines, one in which we do two game drives in one day and one in which we do one and then have a chance for errands while the stores are still open. We typically alternate with a double day and then a single day. Here’s what a double day looks like:
5:30 am: Wake up (may be a little earlier depending on which route we are doing and how long it will take to get to the start point)
5:30-6:00: Quiet time
6:00-6:30: Eat breakfast and get ready for the day
6:30-7:00: Drive to the start point for the morning route
7:00 – noonish: Game drive
Noonish – 1:00 pm: Lunch (Note that the actual time for this varies anywhere from an hour and a half to about 7 minutes depending on how long the morning drive takes and how far away the start point for the afternoon drive is)
1:00 – 6:00: Game drive
6:00-7:00: Drive back to camp and fill up the car with gas if needed
7:00-8:30ish: Cook and eat dinner
8:30-9:30: Prep for bed
9:30ish: Go to sleep and get ready to do it all again the next day
