Safari Activities

During both mornings and evenings, guests are treated to captivating game drives. The remarkable aspect is that the animals have become accustomed to the presence of our vehicle, understanding that it poses no threat to them. As a result, you have the extraordinary opportunity to approach the magnificent larger predators, sometimes within a mere five to 10 metres, even when they are engrossed in devouring a recent kill.

nThambo Tree Camp also offers heart-thumping walking safaris that take you right into the very heart of the wild. Accompanied by our seasoned safari guides, you'll tread lightly and quietly through the untamed bush, feeling that raw, primal energy course through you.

This isn't just about seeing the wildlife; it's about feeling and being a part of the wild. It's about replacing that Wi-Fi connection with a real, tangible connection.

And let us remember the sundowner sessions - a quintessential safari tradition. As the African sun dips and paints the sky with a palette of oranges, pinks, and purples, we'll pull over, set up a table, and toast to the untouched wilderness around us. Remember, this is not a vacation. It is a safari.
