Informatie over Nyala

This rather large antelope inhabits dense woodlands and thickets along permanent water. This species is both a grazer and a browser. It will readily eat flowers, fruits and leaves – a variety that plays a role in securing its survival. The common name of this antelope is derived from the traditional Zulu word for the animal, inxala.

Gamedrive in Hwange

Geniet van een gamedrive in Hwange: misschien wel een van Afrika's beste bestemmingen om wild te spotten. Dit enorme park heeft een indrukwekkend scala aan wilde dieren - leeuw, luipaard, neushoorn, giraffe, buffel, zebra, gemsbok, hyena, wilde hond, en nog veel meer. Dit wordt weerspiegeld door de diversiteit van de omgeving van het park: het zanderige zuidelijke deel van het park loopt langs de Kalahari woestijn, terwijl de noordelijke graslanden dik zijn met granieten ontsluitingen en bosjes van teak en mopane bomen. Hwange is het thuis van een van de grootste olifantenkuddes van het hele continent, en het is ook het grootste - met een oppervlakte van 14.600 km² - en oudste nationale park van Zimbabwe.

Greater Kruger Safari

There are numerous of private concessions surrounding the Kruger National Park, which give a more private experience compared to the sometimes crowded National Park. We are especially charmed by Maseke Game Reserve, as it is situated within a vast block of wilderness, where wildlife can roam freely from the different reserves surrounding it.

HluHluwe-Imfolozi Safari

Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park is a premier wildlife reserve. Home to lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. Its rich plant-life, grasslands and forests support a wide variety of other game animals.

This fascinating game reserve covers 96 000 ha and comprises the Hluhluwe and iMfolozi Game Reserves. The Corridor Game Reserve, established in 1989, links the two older parks.

Zululand Safari

A one of a kind experience: safari in Zululand! The province of KwaZulu-Natal is known for its rolling hills, filled with bright green fever trees. In the valleys you can find rivers meandering through the rural areas. This scenery is even more spectacular within the boundaries of the game reserves, where you can spot the Big 5 while on gamedrive.
