an evening game

drive, skirting

the river basin and returning to your lodge for a

sumptuous dinner in the

main

lapa.

After dinner, you will be afforded the

unique opportunity to enjoy a late

night game drive (should you wish). This

exclusive event provides a chance to

share the

wilderness at night and enjoy

sounds and senses, which are heightened

in big five

country.

Coffee is served on

our open vehicles as we silently wait and

listen to the

sounds of the night, ready

to move to centre stage as the drama of

the nocturnal opera

begins.

Day

Early morning wake-up and an invigorating cup of fresh coffee in the

lounge.

Groups will then set off on their early morning game drive. We hope to

check out scenes

from the previous evenings events; however, each safari offers a

new exciting experience.

The early morning game drive will return to your lodge for brunch, after which

guests

have the option of taking an accompanied bush walk. An opportunity to

trail in the Sabi

Sands

ame

eserve is an experience that will never be

forgotten.

The trail will return for

a well-deserved rest during the heat of the

day, where

you have time to relax or enjoy the

plunge pool overlooking the

riverbed, which

is often host to zebra, buffalo, giraffe,

elephant, rhino, and lion.

The afternoon safari activity will start after high tea and will usually comprise of

a short

drive in the game vehicle to a specific location, after which guests will

depart on foot for a

short trail, then, having returned to the vehicle will enjoy

sundowners away from camp

before returning to a delicious supper that awaits

them.

After dinner, groups are again afforded the chance to enjoy an extended late

night game

drive if they wish. We may stay out late into the night or early into

the next day so that

we can fully appreciate all the nocturnal events, the choice

yours.
