Game Drives
Game Drives are available for resident guests of the Rest Camp. A professional Game Guide is on hand to take guests on tour in the untamed bush of the Kruger National Park. An option of the larger 20-seater or more exclusive 10-seater can be reserved. Bookings can be made in advance through the Central Reservations.
This activity leaves before the sun sets and gets back once the sky is dark. Inquire at the reservations offices about going on this drive.
 

Night drives
Take part in the nocturnal activities of Kruger's secretive creatures. Inquire at the reservations offices about going on this drive.
 

All-day-drive
An additional offering is an all-day-drive where, on request and availability, guests may hire the use of a vehicle and driver for the entire day, subject to availability. Trained officials take visitors to sections of the park which are usually inaccessible to tourists. Additional game drives can be undertaken using personal vehicles.

 

Day Walks
Under the watchful eyes of two well trained and armed Field Guides 8 trailists are taken into the bush for a 3 to 4-hour interpretive excursion. Topics such as Animal behaviour, Geology, Botany, Birds, Weather and Insects are explained. Remember to bring along your binoculars, comfortable walking shoes, camera and sun hat. It is advisable to wear natural or neutral coloured clothing and only persons above 12 years old may engage in this wonderful wildlife experience.
