Wildlife Game Drives

Game drives set-off into the bush twice a day to track wildlife including the renowned Big Five as well as hundreds of other animal species and vast birdlife in this private game reserve in Mpumalanga. Here, the rangers work together with a tracker who looks for signs of wildlife by tracking animal spoor, dung, and the unique sounds of the bush. The 4x4 vehicles are comfortable, open and high enough to present good game viewing opportunities for photography enthusiasts.

Game Walking Safaris
