Game Drives Bush Walks

Game drives, in an open safari vehicle, are conducted in the early morning and late afternoon every day in search of animals – both large and small. This means that about 8 hours of every day are spent in this natural sanctuary, in search of the creatures who call it home…

The more active will enjoy a guided bush walk with one of Arathusa's experience rangers.
