Departing camp at 0600 after a light breakfast in the beautiful setting of the dry riverbed in front of camp. Our safaris are in open game viewers so that guests have an all round view of the birds, trees, wildlife and beauty of the area around Nkonzi Camp.

Midway through the drive we enjoy a morning tea stop so guests can stretch their legs and enjoy a home made muffin.

Morning game drives usually return to camp between 10:30 and 11am giving you time to relax or shower before lunch at midday.

Leaving camp at 3:30 - 4pm for our afternoon safari, depending on the season following afternoon tea. Stopping for sundowners for an infamous African sunset. Once the sun has set we continue using a spotlight to search for nocturnal animals.

Arriving back in camp around 7:30pm in time for dinner at 8pm.

Gavin Opie, who leads most of the walking safaris from Nkonzi Camp, describes a walking safari -

"Being on a walking safari removes any barriers between you and the environment. On a drive, those barriers may be minimal, but you are still one step removed from what is going on around you. When walking, you are better able to take it all in. you feel the earth and smell the air. Not only are you able to observe many aspects of the bush that you miss, when on drive, but you also experience a greater connection – a deeper appreciation of where you are and the significance of the environment you are in. There is no greater thrill than approaching lions from downwind or observing elephants walking past you on their way to water. It can’t be described, you have to experience it!"
