KIDS ON SAFARI

A holiday is a time for both fun and relaxation and our Kids on Safari activity program allows Mom and Dad some alone time to relax while the children take part in a host of supervised outdoor activities.

Some of the activities on offer include :

Walk and stalk : Stalk game on a 1 hour bush walk in the predator free safe area of our game reserve and learn more about some of the smaller mammals that inhabit our game reserve.

Fishing : Kids get to try their hand at catching some of the local Tilapia fish that inhabit some of our dams. Fishing rods and equipment supplied.

Skull Garden : Explore our skull garden and learn more about the anatomy of Africa’s wildlife on this interpretive walk.

Reptile Encounters : overcome your fear of snakes when you handle one of our non- venomous reptiles under the careful supervision of your field guide.

Cheetah tracking : Using a telemetry device, track and spot Africa’s fastest land mammal under the guidance of your field ranger.

Wildlife

Enjoy sunset and sunrise game drives in an open Landrover with your experienced game ranger who will bring you sightings of lion, elephant, white rhino, buffalo and cheetah.

Garden Route Game Lodge is also home to giraffe, zebra and numerous antelope species such as bontebok, red hartebeest, kudu, eland, impala, springbuck and many more.

Game drives will take between 2 and 3 hours depending on how much time is spent at each sighting. There will be a coffee stop on the morning drive and a sundowner stop on the evening drive.
