Each evening guests are invited to share their wildlife encounters around the camp fire, while sampling delicious home cooked treats and pre dinner drinks.

With a diverse mix of habitats and rich vegetation from opens flood plains, rivers and riverine woodlands, the reserve attracts a wealth of big game and wildlife including lion, leopard, wild dog, elephant, buffalo as well as plenty of plains game including sable antelope.
With expert guides guests can enjoy both morning and afternoon game drives from the comfort of a 4x4 safari vehicle. Night drives are also a great opportunity to see nocturnal species including serval, caracal, African wild cat. Exploring the Delta by mokoro (a traditional dug out canoe), offers the chance to meander through the waterways and discover the wonderful bird life or sit back and watch as big game comes down to the water to drink. While game viewing is excellent all year round, mokoro safaris are seasonal and depend on high water levels.
