The beauty of this area is in its diversity –vast, palm-fringed plains and classic grasslands are interspersed with acacia woodlands and teak forests and this diversity ensures the sighting of great numbers of animals all year round. Remember to grab your checklist from your rooms to tick off all the animals and birds you see.
On your return, Dinner is served at about 8.00pm. After dinner, guests have the opportunity of going on a night drive lasting 30 minutes to an hour on which red filtered spotlight's are used to show up the nocturnal animals such as bat-eared fox, as well as lion, leopard and hyena.
