In the Reserve
Trained guides take guests on day- and night game drives. These are conducted in open 4 x 4 Land Rovers to allow maximum visibility from the safety of these vehicles. Conducting these drives at different times of the day allows guests to enjoy the widest range of animals, including the Leopard, Brown Hyena, Porcupine, Civet Cat and Aardvark, which are generally most elusive during the daylight hours. This experience can also be enjoyed on foot, guaranteeing a much more intimate experience as one has the opportunity to touch, feel and experience the plants and animals from a new perspective.
Guests of the lodge are able to camp under canvas for the night, allowing a truly genuine African experience; being woken by the warmth of the rising sun and the sounds of the animals in whose habitat you spent the night.
