Game Drives

Game Drives at Kwantu are an experience bar none. Guests are treated to the Big Five, as well as over 250 bird species, abundant Insect and Plant-life, as well as exotic and endangered animals. Kwantu is situated in what legend refers to as 'the cradle of mankind'. In the heart of Frontier Country, the reserve boasts 6000-hectares of an animal-friendly mix of grasslands, fynbos, valley bushveld and sub-tropical vegetation. It is sprinkled with naturally-formed pockets of water, attractive rock formations which have yielded material for some splendid features of the buildings, and splendid flora, including euphorbia, an intriguing lichen known as 'Old Man's Beard' which thrives in the pure air of the region, and the famous aloe.

Day Visits

Day Visitors to Kwantu can choose to enjoy a morning game drive, starting at 09h00, followed by luncheon, or an afternoon game drive, starting at 14h00, followed by dinner. There are also walking safari's where two experienced rangers accompany guests through unspoilt terrain. Guests assemble at the Kwantu Day Centre where they are welcomed with a freshly prepared Kwantu Safari Refresher and snacks. Whilst relaxing during the three hour game drive, guests will encounter the 'Big Five'; 42 mammal species, including the giraffe, hippopotamus, gemsbok, black wildebeest, blue wildebeest, eland, waterbuck, red hartebeest, lechwe, impala, springbuck and blue duiker; 200 bird species, perhaps a jackel buzzard, Knysna loerie, red-knobbed coot, Egyptian goose, yellow-billed duck, dabchick (little grebe), Stanley's bustard (Denhams), pippit (grass bird) or an ostrich; or a variety of insect and reptilian forms.

Guests will encounter a number of rare and endangered species, including new additions to Kwantu such as the wild dog, Bengal and Siberian Tigers, the Serval and many more species that form part of Kwantu's Predator Education and Rehabilitation Program.
