From Eve

Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Savannah Region.

Hire a local guide to enhance your safari experience and learn more about the wildlife and ecosystem.
Visit during the dry season (November to February) for better wildlife viewing opportunities and easier travel conditions.
Bring cash, as ATMs and card payment facilities are scarce in rural areas.
Learn a few basic phrases in French or the local dialect to ease communication with residents.
Pack light, breathable clothing and sun protection, as the region can get quite hot during the day.
