Because of our partnership with the Mayuni Conservancy, we offer traversing rights to over 300,000 hectares where we can spot these lovely creatures. And we're the only lodge in the area approved for game night drives. This is why you need to visit
You'll see countless herds of elephants, alongside water buffalo, hippos, roan, sable, wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, and letchwe, as well as lion, wild dogs and leopard. If you're a bird lover, we are home to many rare and endemic species.
We are the only lodge in the entire region that is authorized to offer night drives. This is an incredible opportunity to head out and spot the elusive nocturnal creatures, as well as some of the big cats in action if we are truly lucky. There are a lot of elusive nocturnal animals that make an African night safari so special. We'll go out in search of leopards, bushbabies, civets, genets, hyena, aardvark and more, plus we'll see lots of hippos as they come out to eat during the night.
You can enjoy morning or afternoon boat cruise to explore the Kwando River, replete with the constant movement of elephants, hippos, crocodiles, reptiles, several species of antelope and their predators, giraffes, and more than 450 species of birds. This is a chance to view these magnificent animals as they go about their foraging and hunting. The cruise lasts three hours. It includes beverages and a light snack.
We also offer guided bush walks throughout the park. The walks are conducted by our local guides from the Conservancy. It provides an opportunity to get up close and personal with the flora and fauna. You'll be sure to see elephants and lots of smaller creatures along the way. The walk takes about three hours and includes a rest stop with beverages and a snack.
The mokoro is a canoe made locally in the Zambezi delta region by digging out the trunk of a large, straight tree. It is propelled through the shallow waters of the delta by standing in the stern and pushing with a pole. It is an exciting way to experience nature within the delta as you can get up close to the beautiful birds and reptiles hiding in the reeds because the mokoros move silently. It is also a great way to get a taste for a traditional mode of transportation.
