A typical day... Morning Safaris begin with a wake-up knock at your door, as your personal guide does the rounds to wake his guests. Get up, dress warmly and make your way to the Main Lodge for a steaming cup of coffee or tea to start off the day.
Now the adventure begins! Find a spot on the Land Cruiser, settle in and prepare to experience the stirrings of the African bushveld as its great beasts wake from their slumber to the breaking of the day. Our nature guides and trackers know the reserve like the back of their hands and will confer to read the tracks, sounds and sights of the veld to find the hidden areas where the animals congregate. Each day is different and, depending on the weather, time of year, herd behaviour and various other factors you may encounter lions, cheetahs, wild dogs, hippos, crocodiles, rhinos, a variety of plains game and more. The it's back to the main lodge in time for breakfast - searching for exciting wildlife sightings as we go. Back at the lodge guests are ushered to the dining area to enjoy a hearty breakfast that includes everything from fresh, seasonal fruit and creamy yogurt to steaming mounds of eggs and sausage.
Evening Safaris begin in the late afternoon and provide guests with the opportunity to enjoy a different side of the bushveld, as day-roaming animals prepare to settle in for the night and our nocturnal friends emerge to stalk the plains. We drive into the veld as the sun begins to set, painting the sky with streaks of amber, ochre and gold, making our way into the approaching gloom of an African dusk. We stop over to enjoy a cocktail as the sunset makes way for nightfall and the sky is transformed into a velvety backdrop for thousands upon thousands of stars. On the way back the guide turn on a powerful spotlight and point out night-time predators and their prey.
Back at the lodge there is an opportunity to return to your room to freshen up before dinner.
