South African Lodges

Guests are always enthusiastic about the adventure of a walking safari, but are a bit apprehensive about the idea of starting their walk, of actually getting out of the safe and confined space of the safari vehicle.

Specially-trained, armed game rangers and trackers take guests on safari in open land rovers – both by day and night – and on walking trails, learning about some 300 bird species and 200 animal species, including lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, elephant and cheetah, tracked and followed off-road, deep into the African bushveld – a nature wonderland.

Each morning and evening, safaris in open Landrovers drive through a wide variety of habitats, allowing visitors to view the vast interactions of the wild. After breakfast, guests on guided walking trails can experience the natural environment on foot. The dedicated, skilled and passionate rangers lead the guest to discover miracles of nature one may never have dreamed existed.
