Activities

Walking Safaris

Walking safaris heighten all your senses, allowing you to see, hear, smell, and feel the bush in a deeply engaging way.

Game Drives

Night drives often begin as an extension of the afternoon game drive or walking safari. As dusk falls, you'll stop to watch the sunset before setting off to discover the nocturnal wildlife. This is prime time to encounter genets, civets, elephant shrews, porcupines, and fierce honey badgers.

Large predators, aside from wild dogs, are more active after dark, enhancing your chances of thrilling sightings. Birdwatching at night is also rewarding, with an abundance of nightjars, owls, dikkops, bat hawks, and coursers.

Star Gazing

The African night sky, free from light pollution, offers a breathtaking backdrop. The brilliance of the Milky Way and constellations like the Southern Cross, Orion, and Scorpio add to the unforgettable experience. The distant calls of lions, cicadas, and tree frogs under the crescent moon create lasting memories of the African wilderness.
