Near Hluhluwe Game Reserve
Game Drives
Driving at different times of the day maximises the variety of animals
one may encounter. With this in mind we offer both morning and afternoon
drives. We leave for the morning drive at a time agreed with our guests,
stopping midway through the three hour drive at a strategic point, either
a waterhole or view site to enjoy a leisurely drink and a rusk. On the
afternoon drive we usually try to find a suitable spot to view the sunset
whilst sipping a cool sundowner, before wending our way back to the lodge
and the welcoming boma fire.
We also offer night drives, which give our guests the opportunity of spotting
some of the more elusive nocturnal creatures of the bush, such as leopard,
serval, genet, bush baby and aardvark.
Bush Trails
Our guided walks offer the more adventurous an opportunity to experience
the wilds of Africa in the best possible way - on foot!
A walking trail entails an interpretative guided walk with an experienced
game ranger and a small group of guests. In the interests of safety, the
group is limited to six persons. Walks are undertaken in the early morning
or late afternoon and run for 2 - 3 hours. These walks afford the unique
opportunity of exploring paths that have been traversed by wild animals for
centuries and bring back the realization of human vulnerability in the face
of the wilds of Africa.
Birding
There is a great diversity of bird life in our 'birder friendly' reserve
and patience will be richly rewarded with interesting sightings. Birds
indigenous to the region and frequently sighted include: the bateleur, martial
eagle, pinkthroated twinspot, paradise wydah, yellow spotted nicatar, rudd's
apalis and the crested guineafowl.
