Guests are treated to snacks and a welcome drink at the Main Gate boma and are then transferred directly to the Lodge. Sundowners and snacks are served on the evening game drives. The game rangers usually choose magnificent spots such as atop a mountain ridge where one can stand and stare at the majestic beauty and enjoy a fine South African chardonnay. Hot beverages and snacks will keep one warm on the early morning drives.
Bush walks and hiking excursions are offered with fully qualified rangers. These vary with the weather and the desires of the guests. Along with some of the larger animals guests may well see some of the "Little Five" - Elephant Shrew, Leopard Tortoise, Rhino Beetle, Buffalo Weaver and Ant Lion.
