Please note the price reflects better accommodations and the use of smaller vehicles. In places like Kabini where we cannot control the safari vehicle process it was necessary to opt for the better accommodations (5 star resort) in order to secure a smaller vehicle to maximize our chance of finding the black panther. Cheaper options were available but we would likely we thrown into a bus type safari vehicle with 30 other people. I would like to avoid this option as much as possible.
