Activities
Scenic Game Drive
Join the late afternoon guided game drive. This drive offers excellent opportunities to spot a variety of game, including zebra, giraffe, wildebeest and even eland! The guide will explain how this ecosystem works, and ensure an unforgettable experience.
Guided Morning Walk
If you enjoy taking things at a slower pace, this provides an excellent opportunity to explore the remarkable variety of bird species while immersing yourself in the tranquil atmosphere of the early morning when the air is crisp and refreshing.
Guided Walks: (AM, Sundowner or self-guided)
The bush takes on a different perspective on foot. You can choose between joining on a guided morning or sundowner bumble in the bush, or explore one of the self-guided walking trails on the private reserve.
Night Drive
After dinner we venture out to search for the treasures of the night – bushbabies, porcupines, genets, owls, and nightjars. With some luck we might even encounter a free-roaming leopard!
