The Experience: Your journey begins the moment you board our open safari vehicle. This immersive transfer connects you immediately to the wild as you head toward your premier safari tent, perfectly tucked into the shaded lakeside forest. As the afternoon cools, the choice of exploration is yours. Wander through the ancient coastal forest alongside your expert local guide on a 4 km walk that spills out onto the pristine water's edge or take to the lake via a guided e-kayak on Lake Sibayi.  Glide across the glass-like surface via kayak or a scenic barge cruise, watching hippo pods stir as the sun begins to dip. End the day with your feet in the soft sand for a fire-cooked, interactive dinner on the shores of South Africa’s largest freshwater lake.
