This program is not available to children < 16 years of age. Long trousers, closed walking shoes and neutral colour clothing is recommended. The cost of this tour is R500.00 per person.

Tours run daily at 07h30, finishing approximately at 09h30. A limited number of photographers are allowed per day, so booking is essential.

The full proceeds from this tour is used for rehabilitation of wildlife with the prime objective of returning them to the wild.
