Experienced, knowledgeable and personable rangers are paired with local trackers, and together they ensure a first class safari experience. Close encounters are guaranteed, and the animals are not threatened by the vehicles presence thanks to sound conservation management policies. Expect one-of-a-kind photographic opportunities of The Big Five, and much more – including over 300 bird species.

Guided walks with an armed ranger may also be arranged. Being on foot affords a unique and altogether different view of the bush.
