- A room upgrade request and a cake or flower decoration on one night, on request and subject to the hotel
- Evenings kept free for sunsets and dinners rather than packed with sightseeing
- Private transfers throughout instead of shared coaches
- Safari permits booked as soon as dates are fixed, as zones sell out
