After your morning in the wild, unwind and savour a delicious 2-course lunch with two refreshing soft drinks at 12h30.

Guests joining the full-day safari can look forward to even more wildlife encounters with a second game drive from 13h30 to 15h00 - the perfect ending to an unforgettable day surrounded by nature.
