The Outpost

The Outpost Game Viewing and Activities

This particular region measures approximately 28 000 hectares and is the roaming ground of large herds of elephant and buffalo. The mountainous terrain is home to leopard and the region boasts resident prides of lion. Rhino have been reintroduced and guests visiting The Outpost are very likely to see Nyala and Tsessebe antelope which are not easy to find elsewhere in the Park. The dramatically diverse terrain includes a mosaic of Mopane woodlands, fever tree forests, acacia thickets and some of the largest and oldest Baobab trees. Guests are offered a choice of a long or short game excursion in the morning and again in the late afternoon which is likely to extend into the early evening. Qualified and experienced guides conduct all game drives in exclusive open-air four wheel-drive vehicles. Game excursions are not restricted to public roads in the Kruger National Park and mostly make use of tracks formerly reserved for the use of Park officials. Those who would like to experience the bush on foot may do so after breakfast or as an alternative to a game drive in the early mornings and late afternoons. Walks take place in parts of the region not accessible to vehicles including the spectacular Lanner Gorge. Bird enthusiasts are sure to enjoy the Makuleke Region, which is renowned for its spectacular bird life. Guests may be able to see Scarlet chested sunbirds, Broadbilled rollers, Redheaded weavers, Wattle- eyed flycatchers and owls such as the Pel's Fishing Owl, the Scops, White-faced, Pearl-Spotted and Giant Eagle Owl.
