Child Policy
The rules governing game drives in the North West Province do not permit children under the age of 6 years on the game drives for their own safety.

Children between 6 and 12 years are permitted to join the adult game drives at the ranger's discretion.

Season
Each season in the African bush has it's own secrets and beauty -
- Spring (September to November) for its budding grasses and leaves on the trees, not to mention the baby antelopes
- Summer (December to February) for the green green scenery, colourful birdlife and summer thunderstorms
- Autumn (March to May) for the days are still warm enough to laze around the pool and the scenery takes on that reddish tinge to the leaves of the tamboti trees
- Winter (June to August) for the crisp mornings and the easier game spotting, especially near watering holes, and having a boma fire at night to cuddle up next to
