SAFARIS -  GAME DRIVES :
WILDLIFE & NATURE ACTIVITIES
FULL DAY SAFARI DRIVE -
MORNING AND AFTERNOON DRIVES ALSO AVAILABLE

Our full day game drives take you through the extraordinary panoramas of the Kruger National Park in the company of one of our highly qualified guides. The guides are expert in sensing and following the movements of wildlife, so there are excellent chances of a bounty of spectacular wildlife sightings. It isn't unusual to spot all Africa's "big five" wildlife species in a single day - along with a host of other fascinating species of mammals, birds and reptiles.


RATE:

Full day R 400 p/p excludes KNP conservation fee of R125,00

BUSH WALK in KNP



Our exhilarating nature walks take you into the living, beating heart of big wildlife country. Experience the mystical fragrances of the bushveld, the feel of the warm earth beneath your boots, the brushing of leaves... and then that rush of adrenaline as your guide points out, say, a magnificent rhino. No walls, no barriers, between you and the soul of the African experience. It's not unusual to spot more than ten spectacular animals species in the course of a single walk.


The walks are conducted under the expert (and painstakingly safety-conscious) guidance of an armed, highly-qualified field guide - who'll prove to have a vast store of knowledge about the local fauna and flora, and the ecology of the area in general. On your return, you'll be amazed by how much knowledge and how much sheer feeling for the African bush you've absorbed.

Wildlife & Nature walk 2 - 3 hours R 260 p/p (Exclude transfer)

NIGHT SAFARI

As the sun sets, the African bush comes to life, The diurnal creatures, ranging from elephant to antelope to warthog, start to seek out locations for rest and refuge, and the nocturnal ones - notably, the big cats become bolder and more active as they prepare to direct their energies towards serious feeding. Our spectacular night safaris, conducted in open game viewing vehicles, set off at this crucial sunset period, and take you deep into the starlit vastness of the Kruger National Park or one of the adjacent, private wildlife reserves. There's nothing to beat the thrill of lions appearing under the beam of the vehicles' high-powered spotlights - unless it's the thrill of a vast herd of buffalo, or the rare wild dog. Night safaris also offer the opportunity to see the cuter gems of the bush: the saucer-eyed bushbaby, exquisite genet, elegant serval, comical porcupine and so on.

Night Safaris 2 - 3 hours R 250 p/p
