Two game drives are conducted at the best suited times of the day to maximize the number of sightings. An early morning game drive start directly after morning coffee at approximately 5h30 in the morning (and a half an hour later in the winter). The excitement and rush of the adventure is interrupted by a stopover in the open bush for tea or coffee with a light snack - often with a view over a nearby game. The adventure continues and you return back to camp at around 9:30 am to freshen up before brunch.

Following afternoon high tea the afternoon game drives start at approximately 16h00 (and half an hour earlier in the winter) and continue into the night. The game drives are again interrupted by a stop-over in the bush for sundowners watching the splendor of the African sun setting over the mountains. The game viewing at night offers the opportunity to view the nocturnal animals including the possibility of lions out on the prowl.
