Game Drives and Unique Experiences

Expert guides accompany guests on early morning and late afternoon game drives in the local area, known as the "predator capital" of Africa. During the season, tranquil mokoro trips provide a serene way to view water birds, pods of grunting hippos, and plains wildlife from the water.

Scenic Helicopter Flights

Guests can enjoy scenic helicopter flights over the delta, showcasing spectacular aerial views of areas unreachable by vehicle or boat.

Wildlife and Birdlife

Large numbers of plains game and predators are found throughout the year. Following the recent introduction of rhino to this concession, the area is now home to the Big Five. Predators include several lion prides, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and the rare and endangered wild dog. Large herds of elephant and buffalo frequent the area. Species such as blue wildebeest, steenbok, giraffe, greater kudu, impala, Burchell's zebra, and tsessebe are abundant, as are water-dwelling antelope like sitatunga and red lechwe, thanks to the region’s flood levels.

The area is also home to over 400 species of birds, including the African fish eagle, Bateleur, Crested and Wattled cranes, Black-tailed godwit, Sacred ibis, Green pigeon, and the rare and elusive Pel’s fishing owl.
