Explore Hunda Island on guided morning and afternoon game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles. The island’s varied habitats support an abundance of wildlife, with leopard, elephant, antelope and other large game frequently encountered.

Led by an experienced guide, each drive is shaped by the prevailing conditions and wildlife movements of the day, offering rewarding opportunities to observe the reserve’s animals and birdlife in their natural environment.

Game drives are subject to weather, road conditions and operational considerations. Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.

A one-of-a-kind safari experience awaits after dark where we go in search of the extraordinary creatures of the night. Porcupine, aardwolf, serval, large spotted genet and lesser bushbaby are just some of these.
