What do you do when you fill your package early?

The last couple of times I’ve done that has been in the Save with CMS. We changed camps to their Matombo camp overlooking the Zambezi and fished for a few days.
 
If you're lucky enough to fill your package early what do you do with your extra days? Do you feel obligation to the outfitter to keep hunting? Sitting at camp is no fun. Many times you cant find an alternative.You committed to the days and do you feel the PH has a commitment to at that point "babysit" you. That situation can become akward for both parties.
The PH keeps you hunting-or may recommend other options to keep you engaged. You can arrange payment options that can keep you going. Every trip to SA I've filled my hunt package early.
 
In South Africa, I keep hunting. Although, my safari company has given me sight-seeing tours to get away from camp for a day or two. Bird hunting with a borrowed shotgun was great!



In countries where you have to have a pre-purchased a permit for everything, bird watching, sight-seeing, and fishing is not a bad option...

Especially where monsters, such as this, can be found:

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci
