Walking with giants amongst Africa's Big 5
Today we wake up to coffee and a light breakfast of rusks, fruit, and yoghurt before kitting up and departing the camp for a 3 to 5 hour walk in the African bush.
Here we get to experience the beauty of nature as we listen for bird calls or branches breaking of elephants nearby. We focus on the track and signs of animals that passed by and learn more about the smells and scents of the bush. This educational and immersive morning walk is followed by brunch prepared by the Chef.
After brunch, guest can decide if they would like to continue walking or take a game drive to the second campsite where
they can freshen up and relax.
Just before the evening game drive, at around 15h00, a cheese board will be served. We will then head out with the open safari game viewer in search of some animals as we will cover a bit more distance allowing us to explore a different area of the park.
After drive, guests will return to camp for a fireside dinner and a good night’s sleep.

Big 5 Wilderness Trail Continues
Another morning waking up to coffee and a light breakfast of rusks, fruit, and yoghurt before kitting up and departing the camp for a 3-5 hour walk heading towards the Olifants River where brunch is prepared and served by the chef.
This morning we take a different route as we continue our wilderness trail and walk to our brunch spot set up overlooking the Olifants River. The Olifants River flows northeast as it passes through the Kruger National Park and Mozambique on its way to join the Limpopo about 190km inland before flowing into the Indian Ocean.
After brunch, guests will enjoy a short walk to the camp on the banks of the river. Look out for hippos and crocs on the banks of the river and listen for the call of the African fish-eagle. This scenic spot is the perfect place to spend the last night of trails.
A cheese board and snacks will be served at 15h00 before heading out on an afternoon sunset game drive in search of predators, before returning to camp for dinner and bed.
