Game Drives

The African Hills guided game viewing drives take place each day in the morning and afternoon, as this is when the animals are most active. A skilled ranger will be your guide, helping you spot hidden animals, and ensuring your safety at all times.

Wildlife on the reserve includes giraffe, eland, brown hyena, sable antelope, hippo, kudu and blue wildebeest as well as majestic buffalo and rhino. You can expect to encounter a diverse range of animals and bird species. 

And you are very likely to see lions – these however, are situated in a separate camp. Some of the smaller species you may encounter include aardvark, porcupine, jackal, warthog, mongoose and honey badgers.
