Enjoy breakfast at a rest camp or picnic site along the way, and keep your eyes peeled for wildlife as you travel. This is no ordinary transfer — it’s part of the adventure.

Sunrise safari & night drive

Today follows the same flexible rhythm:

Early morning game drive to take in the best light and animal movement
Optional full-day safari or return to camp to relax during the heat of the day
Evening: SANParks-operated Night Drive — a spotlighted adventure led by park rangers to seek out nocturnal species like hyenas, civets, owls, and even hunting predators under the stars.
