Game Drives
Included in your stay at our private game lodge is the opportunity to go on two game drives daily, one departing in the early morning and one departing in the afternoon. Exact departure times vary depending upon time of year and weather and will be coordinated with your game ranger upon arrival. Each game drive is taken on our open-air safari vehicles and lead by an experienced and knowledgeable game ranger. They will guide you through the Zululand Rhino Reserve in search of the many animals, birds and wildlife that can be found in this part of southern Africa. Each drive takes a break at a picturesque spot, for coffee and tea in the morning and sundowners in the afternoon. What we see on each drive is unpredictable and it’s this variability that makes each sighting an adventure. For an extra fee, we can arrange a night drive to search for more rarely seen nocturnal animals.
Bush Trails
As an optional extra for our more adventurous guests we offer our bush trails. A bush trail is an interpretative guided walk with an experienced game ranger and a small group of guests. These trails are one of the best ways to experience the African bush, up close and personal, and many of our guests rate it as a highlight of their African experience. Walks are undertaken in the early morning or late afternoon and run for 2 – 3 hours. In the interest of safety, the group is limited to six persons and all guests must be age 16 or older.
