Duration
Half Day
Game drives leave early in the morning and then again in the late afternoon when temperatures are cooler and animals tend to be more active. Vehicles have been specially adapted so they have open sides and are raised high for better game viewing. A professional and knowledgeable guide will be on hand to track animals and answer any questions about what you might see in the bush. Afternoon game drives will usually end with a sundowner in a scenic spot where you can watch the sun set after a day on safari.
When not on game drives, guests could also head out on a walking safari with a specialized safari guide. Enjoy getting up close and personal with nature where the sounds of the vehicle won't be disturbing you and the unique sights, sounds and smell of the bush can be experienced first-hand. You guide will point out small animal and plant species and even tracks and spoor.
Back at the lodge, treat yourself and relax in the spa at your own cost.
