Due to the effects of the prevalent El Nino weather pattern in the region, water levels are currently well below normal. As a consequence, we cannot guarantee being able to offer any river-related activities until this situation improves significantly..
The cooler months between April and September coincide with the dry period, with the rain falling sporadically from December to March. Wildlife concentrations are at their highest during winter, whilst nature shows its most colourful and vibrant side during summer, with bird watching then being at its phenomenal best. Nature drives in the park are conducted in open 4X4 vehicles. Other activities include guided morning walks in the park, birding, photographic and sunset boat cruises. All activities are conducted by some of the region's most experienced, resident naturalist guides. Many typical savanna species occur in the area â this including Buffalo, Zebra, Wildebeest, Waterbuck, and specials such as Roan, Sable and Oribi, with Elephant and Hippo being particularly abundant.

Different species of fish, such as Bream, Tigerfish and Catfish can be identified from the lodge's viewing deck.
