Game Drives and Guided Walks
One of the key highlights of any safari is the game drive. Led by experienced guides and trackers, these excursions take place early in the morning and late in the afternoon when animals are most active. Travelling in a 4×4 vehicle through diverse terrain, you’ll be able to spot and photograph a range of species in their natural habitat.
