During the dry season, the vegetation is sparse, and wildlife congregates around watering holes. During the wet season, the vegetation is dense, and wildlife is more dispersed.
In addition to the Big Five animals that are regularly sighted include giraffe, zebra, warthog, spotted hyena, baboon, hippo, impala, kudu, vervet monkey, waterbuck, wildebeest, Bushbaby, mongoose, duiker, steenbok.
You might also see wild dogs, cheetahs, honey badgers, porcupines, aardvarks, civets, caracals, and serval. Birds that are regularly seen are vultures, owls, bee-eaters, rollers, eagles, bustards, hornbills, starlings, and shrikes.
On game drives, you can get a lot closer to the big game. The animals are generally habituated to the vehicle. This means that they are used to the vehicle approaching them and know that it never causes them harm.
During the summer months, the weather can be hot and sticky. You may want to bring a few outfits.
This is what we suggest you bring along on your game drive:
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Sun hat, sunglasses, and sunblock
- Cameras and binoculars
- Light, neutral colored clothing
- Warm jackets are essential in winter (May – September)
- Beanies and gloves – the mornings are cold during winter
