Return to camp for a gourmet dinner under the stars and relax to the sounds of the African night.
Awake to the gentle call of the wild and head out on a morning game drive to explore the expansive reserve. Your ranger will track wildlife, providing insights into animal behavior and the intricate ecosystem. Enjoy a hearty breakfast at the camp afterward.
Mid-morning, stop for coffee in the bush and soak in the tranquility of your surroundings. Return to camp for lunch and leisure time, during which you can unwind on the camp's deck or enjoy a beverage of your choice.
In the late afternoon, embark on another exhilarating game drive. Witness the transition from day to night as predators prepare for the hunt. Return to camp to enjoy pre-dinner drinks in the lounge and a sumptuous meal paired with fine South African wines.
Start your final day with an early morning game drive, experiencing the wildlife at its busiest, gathering food before the African sun is out.
