• For a more relaxed pace, you can add an extra day in Kabini to fully rest and enjoy the natural surroundings without rushing.
• Make sure to book accommodations with easy accessibility and minimal walking requirements; cabins or rooms close to main areas are preferred.
• Consult your mother’s physician before finalizing plans, particularly regarding safaris and travel durations to ensure comfort and safety.
