Walking Safari
To experience the African Bush at is very best, is to take part in a walking safari.
The actual time spend on the walking safari is approximately three hours. However a lot of time will be spent quietly observing and discussing the wildlife with the guide. You will be walking at a leisurely pace. The guide will find the White Rhino for you and track as much large game as possible.
Cold water is supplied on the walk and there will be a stop with more refreshments in a suitable spot. Total time of activity approx. 4 to 4.5 hours the transfer vehicles are open 4×4’s.
An early start is necessary and therefore the pick-up will be early between 6.30 and 07.00 to avoid walking in the heat of the day. It is important to have easy walking shoes, hats and bush friendly attire.
Apart from your qualified guide an armed National Park Scout will accompany you on the walk.

A Natural Wonder

During your Livingstone Island tour, your guide will take you through its history from ancient times when it served as a sacrificial site to its present-day World Heritage Site status. A delectable 5-star gourmet meal is prepared for you on the island itself to round off this magical experience.
