Activities are conducted in open 4×4 vehicles and accompanied by knowledgeable guides. In the dry winter months, all-purpose ATV vehicles – four wheeler motorcycle/Quad bikes are available, allowing guests to travel across the saltpans.
Walks with a Bushman tracker and a visit to Chapman’s Baobab – the historical baobab tree used by Livingstone, Selous and other early explorers – are activities also on offer.
After the rains (December – April) there can be enormous herds of wildebeest, zebra and springbok – with the accompanying predators – on the open grasslands. The summer rains also leave a warm shallow layer of water that entices large flocks of waterfowl and flamingos.
