An experienced ranger and tracker, with a wealth of knowledge of the area, will accompany all game activities. Game drives are conducted in open Land Rovers to ensure an optimal game viewing experience. Full brunch is served on return, lazily followed by a noontime siesta, a refreshing swim, or viewing the game quenching their thirst at the waterhole. An English tea is served in the afternoon closely followed by another exhilarating game drive. The African night brings out the predators and many other nocturnal animals. Spotting nightlife or hearing a lion roar in the distance proves to be an unforgettable experience. Guests can return to camp to freshen up and enjoy a drink with the ranger and hostess to discuss the sightings of the day.
