Wildlife Encounters

Experience the beautiful moments with incredible wildlife, watch elephants wander, lions call across the plains, giraffes graze, and antelope dart through the grass. 

Birdwatching

The estate’s indigenous gardens and surrounding bush are a paradise for bird enthusiasts. Spot rare and vibrant species, including the iconic Knysna Turaco, as you enjoy the sights and sounds of the wild from unique vantage points.

Dining

Picture yourself dining under the open African sky, savoring fresh, locally inspired flavors while taking in breathtaking views.

Last minute booking
We are living abroad in Australia, heading on a last minute trip to South Africa. We reached out to Safari.com and were allocated Nerine Du Plessis as our consultant. Nerine was so great in helping us to organise this trip with only 5 weeks until departure/arrival in South Africa. Nerine has been incredibly prompt in her responses, articulate in the requirements and easy to communicate with. So far, we can't fault our experience.
