Birding / Bush walks
With over 400 bird species recorded in our area, it’s not always just about the big fish or for that matter, the Big 5. Taking some time out to go on a bushwalk with our experienced safari guide can be an incredibly rewarding experience. Here you will have an opportunity to learn about the tracks and signs that indicate to us what animals, birds and reptiles have been moving around our property, you’ll also be learning about the birds and insects as well as the local trees and some of the African legends and medicinal uses behind the trees and maybe, just maybe with a little bit of luck, we might even find an animal or two to view while we are out and about experiencing the African bush on foot.
Price: R400 per person. Subject to availability.
