Dinner is served around a log fire in the boma, whilst enjoying the mystical nocturnal sounds under the African sky.

Game Drives:

There are 2 game drives per day, during which your experienced game ranger and local Shangaan tracker will share their extensive knowledge and love for the African bush with you. Each drive lasts about 3 hours with an intermediate break.

During the morning game drive, you will be spoiled with coffee and homemade rusks and in the afternoon your ranger will find a suitable spot, where you can enjoy the stunning views, whilst enjoying your sundowner drink.

After sundowners your tracker will use the spotlight to find nocturnal animals, before returning to the lodge for dinner. Your ranger will discuss the various game drive regulations before you leave camp for your first drive.

Bush walks:

During bush walk you will have the opportunity to take a closer look at animal tracks, birds, different types of grasses and trees, as well as any other smaller details of the bush that might fascinate you. This is also the ideal time for birdwatchers to get a closer look at their favourite bird species.

The daily bush walk takes place after breakfast and is a leisurely walk of about an hour long. Please take note that you will be accompanied by either your ranger, or tracker. They will share the various bushwalk rules and regulations before leaving camp. Please adhere to these at all times. Guests are not allowed to leave the camp area and walk on their own. Make sure that you wear comfortable walking shoes and have protection from the sun.

Bordering the Kruger National Park, with no fences dividing them, the Sabi Sands Game Reserve is world-renowned for excellent game viewing. Not only will you have an excellent chance of close encounters with the Big 5, but you might even be spoiled with the more elusive Wild Dog and Cheetah sightings.

As the lodge is situated on a dry riverbed, the surrounding habitat is favourable for Leopards, as these creatures prefer the riverine and denser bush areas. Over time and due to a carefully planned habituation process, some of the animals have become habituated to the game drive vehicles. This enables our guests to view the animals undisturbed, as they go about their daily routine.

Keen birdwatchers would also be mesmerized with over 300 bird species to choose from.
