Frequently Asked Questions
Is this itinerary guaranteed to include a river crossing?
No sighting can ever be guaranteed — this itinerary is built to maximize opportunity, not guarantee an outcome.

Significantly earlier booking is recommended given how popular this window is.
Why fly rather than drive for every leg?
