Find clear starting points for a day visit, accommodation, the Spa and time with the animals. These answers bring together the practical questions we hear most often. If your plans need more detail, contact the team before travelling.
A guide takes you through the sanctuary on an educational game drive, introducing the animals and sharing the detail you might otherwise miss. Allow approximately two to two-and-a-half hours for the drive, with additional time if you would like to relax afterwards.
The day-visit schedule offers departures at 11:00 and 14:00, Monday to Sunday, including school and public holidays. Advance booking is essential. Confirm your chosen departure when arranging your visit.
Day-visit rates are R350 per adult and guest aged 12 or over, R100 per child aged 2 to 11, and R300 per pensioner. Request a quote for your date and group, including any additional experiences. Rates are confirmed with your reservation.
