Early morning Game Drives The day begins before first
light with an early wake up call.We meet at the main lodge where the kitchen
prepares hot brewed coffee, tea, home made rusks, muffins and fresh fruit
juice.
We depart in the Land Rovers, the air crisp and the morning alive with
the sounds of the bush.
The rangers have an intimate knowledge of the environment, reading signs
of last night’s activity they take us into their world.
Evening Game Drives A short trip takes us to where all
the vehicles meet for sundowners. Intense golden hues make the evening
surreal as we sip on cocktails and enjoy light snacks.
The light softens after a magnificent sunset, as the sun dips behind the
horizon, the air cools day transforms to night.
