Expect early wake-up calls each morning to just enjoy a hot beverage and rusks before departing on your game drive. Expect to catch some nocturnal animals still out hunting, and witness the sun rising.

On return to the lodge a late breakfast can be enjoyed, and the rest of the day spent lazing around or enjoying a gym or spa session.

Soon it will be time for an afternoon game drive, which will depart at about 16:00, and return just in time for a scrumptious dinner under African skies.
