ACTIVITIES

The  day typically begins with an early morning game drive, in search of Africa's exciting fauna, followed by a sumptuous breakfast on the deck.  You can then go on a ranger-guided walk through the bush and learn about game tracks  and all of the little creatures.  Discover how the local people use trees to make toothbrushes and toothpaste, tea and coffee, poultices, etc. Alternatively relax on a cosy leather couch, enjoying the animals at the water,  and the ever present bird life in one of the top birding areas in South Africa.

After a light lunch, relax on a cosy lounge with a selection of wildlife books and videos, or cool off in the pool in summer.

A wine tasting in our amazing cellar is followed by a Boma barbeque
