RIver Boat Cruise
Some of the best photography takes place in the afternoons. The evening light lends itself to excellent photos of animals and birds, as well as the magnificent sunsets over the Kubu Dam. The mornings are also very special, with the animals heading to the water for a morning drink. Birding is excellent along the river with frequent sightngs of African darters, fish eagles, kingfishers and other waders and water birds.
Game drives in the Lapalala Wilderness
Our professional guides are trained to take guests on various guided activities. Before departure on a game drive or bush walk, your guide will present an orientation on safety, as well as the area and game you could expect to see. Daily game drives take place in an open 4x4 Land Cruiser, which depart from the lodge early in the morning and again late in the afternoon, typically ending in the evening with unobstructed views of the starry skies above Lapalala Wilderness Reserve.
Bush Breakfast
The bush breakfast at Tintswalo Lapalala typically begins with an early morning game drive guided by experienced rangers who are knowledgeable about the local wildlife and ecosystem. Guests have the opportunity to witness the beautiful sunrise over the African bush and spot various animals in their natural habitat. After the game drive, guests are taken to a designated outdoor breakfast area, which may be set up in a scenic location with breathtaking views of the wilderness. The setting is often carefully arranged to blend in with nature, providing an intimate and tranquil atmosphere for guests to enjoy.
