Nocturnal species such as the Lesser Bush baby (Galago Senegalensis), African Wildcat (Felis Libyca), Spotted Genet, African Civet, Serval are frequently encountered during nightly game drives. A typical daily programme starts with a light breakfast, early morning game drive of some 3 hours duration. A combination of walking and game drives can be undertaken on request. Brunch is served in the outside lapa (thatched roof), situated on the banks of the Perennial river. After a relaxing afternoon siesta depart for the afternoon/evening game drive. The night drive continues after the sundowner break. After dusk a whole new world of nocturnal species awake to roam the African bushveld savanna. Back at the lodge a typical South African three course cuisine dinner awaits. Safety is of high concern during all our guided activities.
