After the drive, we return to the lodge to enjoy a bush braai at the Marula Tree Boma. Accommodation will be in an en suite chalet at the lodge.

In the company of an experienced game ranger, you will be taught about the animals, the plants and the insects that you will see along the way. This is also a great opportunity to take photos, as you track some of Africa’s most majestic animals.

These vehicles are also perfect for taking stunning photographs. In the company of your guide, you will spot all sorts of animals and as you are in the perfect zone to catch sight of giraffe, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest and even predators, you will be in for a sightseeing treat.

You will return to Marc’s Camp for dinner and a night of relaxation after a day spent on safari.
