Day 2 & 3: Activities & Relaxation

An early morning wake-up call starts the day, followed by a freshly brewed cup of tea or coffee before setting off on a morning game drive.

At Inyati, the days are designed to thrill you with intimate wildlife encounters and the nights to delight you with the indulgence and romance of the African night. There is an array of activities from game drives and guided bush walks, to stargazing, fishing, workouts at the fully-equipped gym, swimming, young rangers’ programs, and community tours.

Our qualified guiding team delivers an unrivaled wildlife experience, providing fascinating insights into the complex bio-networks of the South African bushveld. The reserve has a dense concentration of wildlife and is home to the Big 5 – elephant, lion, rhino, leopard, and buffalo.

Inyati is one of the best places in the world to get up close and personal with the elusive leopard.

Later in the afternoon, you will head out on your afternoon game drive, which may continue beyond dusk, and return back to the lodge to enjoy dinner and reminisce about the day’s sightings.
