Our daily routine usually involves an early morning start. You will be woken by one of the camp crew with tea or coffee in your tent. We will then spend most of the morning hours wildlife viewing. It is important to be out in the early hours of the morning as this is when most of the wildlife is active. This is particularly true in finding the predators such as lion and leopard which are essentially nocturnal. We might return to camp for a hearty breakfast, or else take a picnic breakfast with us and return for lunch, we will be very flexible with regard to this

sort of thing. Most animals then seek shelter in the shade from the midday heat. We do likewise by staying in camp through the first part of the afternoon. This is a good time to catch up on diaries, on reading and letter writing, or simply relaxing with an afternoon siesta.

A late afternoon game drive then usually keeps us out until dusk. Sometimes we may stay out a little later, where the regulations allow this, and return to camp in the dark with a spotlight. Alternatively we might take a short walk in the late afternoon which will give you a different appreciation of the bush. Hot showers followed by ice cold cocktails around the campfire and a sumptuous dinner mark the end of our day's activities.
