Various game species occur in great numbers and bird watching is also a must-do activity with more than 350 bird species. A treat for keen birders!

RELAX

When not on exploration in the bush, you can relax a little and indulge yourself in a cushioned lounge chair poolside or take a dip in our swimming pools overlooking the river and gardens to cool off under the African sun.
