After lunch at your lodge, set out on an afternoon game drive. (B/L/D)

Containing quinine-infused tonic and gin, colonizers drank it to ward off malaria. As the British Empire expanded into Africa, the popularity of gin and tonic spread with it.

An exclusive bush lunch will be served in the crater. (B/L/D)
