Activities and Experiences

Twice a day, you can take part in unforgettable safari adventures in our open-top safari vehicle (Game Viewer) – and discover 6,000 hectares of pristine wilderness in the Greater Kruger National Park. Our private Big 5 reserve is open to the wildlife of the Kruger National Park – without fences, without borders.

Experience breathtaking animal encounters in the African wilderness.

However, due to the wild nature of animal behaviour, we can never guarantee what, where and when you will discover during the activity. Our area is also home to big cats such as lions and leopards, and with a bit of luck we may encounter them.

In addition, we offer a variety of additional activities in cooperation with trusted partners to get the most out of your Africa trip.

Optional bookable activities:- Panorama Route Full Day Tour- Boat Safari on the Olifants River incl. Jessica the Hippo- Full Day Safari in the Kruger National Park- Visits to Wildlife Projects- Bush Walks- Bush Breakfast- Romantic Engagements in the Bush- Private Safari Drives

You have two options for booking these offers. You can either choose a package that includes overnight stays and corresponding excursions, or you can arrange individual activities on site or in consultation with us. Contact us and we will be happy to advise you to find the program that suits you perfectly.

We invite you to learn more about us, become part of our Baluleni family and discover the wonders of the South African bushland.
