Begin your sunrise safari with a 5:30 AM pickup from your accommodation. Head out just as nocturnal predators finish their nightly patrols. With the combined expertise of a qualified guide and a tracker, navigate the reserve in search of elephants, rhinos, and the elusive cheetah.

As the sun begins its ascent, find a scenic spot to pause for traditional bush coffee, tea, and rusks. Enjoy a moment of pure stillness to soak in the atmosphere before continuing your exploration. With limited vehicles allowed on the property, you are guaranteed a serene and high-quality wildlife encounter before being transferred safely back to your accommodation.

Alternatively, experience the African bush as it transitions from day to night on an exclusive afternoon expedition. Begin with a pickup from your accommodation, heading into the wild during the “Golden Hour” when the light is perfect for photography and the bush begins to stir with renewed energy.

Under the expert guidance of a professional guide and a tracker, navigate this Big 5 territory in search of lions, rhinos, and the reserve’s resident cheetahs and perhaps even a leopard or a brown hyena. As the sun begins to dip behind the majestic Drakensberg mountains, pause at a scenic spot overlooking a dam for the highlight of the afternoon: traditional sundowner drinks and snacks.

Toast the end of the day while soaking in the sounds of the hippos and the bush before continuing your drive into the early evening, using spotlights to search for elusive nocturnal creatures on your way back to your accommodation.
