The Game Rangers are highly skilled and very knowledgeable about the fauna and flora within the reserve and will be able to answer all of your questions during game drives and walking safaris.
Your twice daily game drives provide the opportunity to view the big 5, antelope such as sable, oribi, and springbok, as well as rare cheetah and wild dogs. Early mornings mean you are up to hear the fresh chattering of birds and view creatures about their business. Spend some time resting after the morning drive, and in the afternoon, hop aboard open safari vehicles and enjoy the change-over as the nocturnal animals become active and the stars come out. Spotlights are used to aid in finding the animals. Should the option be available, a walking safari, is an exhilarating way to immerse yourself in the wilderness and learn about smaller creatures and plant life.
