Game Drives (guided or self-drive) and Bush Walks

Must do!...Explore the Park with an experienced and passionate guide in an open safari vehicle. You will learn so much! We strongly recommend going in with a guide before you self drive, to learn from that experience. We also strongly recommend booking onto a game drive at times of public holiday to avoid the need to pre book advance day passes to be sure to get in for a self-drive.

The start times for each activity vary according to the season. Please carefully note start and end location and times for each activity. Private game drives (full or half day) are usually picked up/dropped off at Trees Too. For others you must self-drive to the start/end point.

N.B. Activities marked * below are operated by Sanparks and you may be requested to pay at the point of booking. Private game drives are usually payable on completion of the activity. Please confirm at the point of booking.

NB. Once booked you are committed to the activity!

Please reconfirm prices prior to booking an activity as operators change their prices at different times of the year. Also please note that start/finish times vary according to the season.
