Tips

To extend your stay, consider adding an extra day to explore Anshi National Park or take a guided night safari for a chance to see nocturnal wildlife. If you need a shorter trip, skip the river cruise and replace it with a leisurely stroll around Kankani Lake, which reduces both time and cost while still offering a scenic experience.
