Which would you choose for October? If Available?
Explorer, Lil Govs, Oloanna or Ol Seki?

>>Which would you choose for October? If Available?

The first three are in/around the same area... in other words west of the Mara or Talek Rivers. Explorer and Little Governor's are inside the Triangle, so no night game drives. Olonana is outside, but not in an area where night games done as little game around... rather a few villages nearby. Ol Seki, however, is way over on the east in the Koiyaki or Ol Kinyei private lands.

Ol Seki has a single rate year-round - high. Explorer, Olonana and Lil Gov rates go down in Oct to high-season numbers. Lil Gov is the least expensive during this month.

As to where game will be located? It's anyone's guess! But the wildies are known to hang around thru the month and often into November.
