Guided walks

For those guests who like to discover the outdoors and take in the fresh air, then this activity will suit your needs perfectly.  Some guests may often miss the smaller details of the beautiful environment when on a vehicle or horseback, so these guided walks are highly recommended.  While these can be in the form of a gentle stroll, the more energetic can hike over the plains and up impressive gorges.

Game drives

The guides are available to take guests in an open 4x4 Land Cruiser either for morning or afternoon game drives or using a spotlight at night to find elusive nocturnal animals, such as the rare brown hyena, aardvark bushbaby and porcupine. 

The advantage of a game drive is that you can cover more ground across the game reserve in the Waterberg. Game drives and walks can often be combined to make game viewing and photography more exciting.
