[ OVERVIEW ]

Sandy jeep tracks and gravel roads swoop amongst umbrella acacias along the grassland plains of the North-West savanna. Expect some pushing along stretches of soft sand, but fortunately much of the riding is flat enough to allow you to stay in the saddle. Game viewing is good, with regular sightings of kudu, giraffe, wildebeest and other plains animals. The waterhole or hide is a perfect picnic spot, while the historical main complex offers stunning views across the main camp waterhole.
