An early morning or late afternoon safari is the best way to absorb the sights, smells and sounds of Africa. Encounter the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo) the animals that inspire a long-lasting connection with the continent. And, once you've found them, go looking for Africa's other famous five, the Little Five (elephant shrew, rhino beetle, leopard tortoise, ant lion and buffalo weaver). The lodges guides and trackers are experts in the circle of life, and how it spins both slowly and frenetically in the African bush. They will offer you wildlife lessons from their own cultures and knowledge. They will tell stories and share anecdotes. They will explain, inform, educate and then sit back and let you fall in love with the wild in your own way. With 14,000 hectares to explore, you'll see diverse wildlife including cheetah, hyena, warthog and the occasional wild dog, as well as abundant bird and plant life.
