Activities:

Guests will be taken on game drives in the early morning and again in the late afternoon which may extend into the early evening.  Game drives are conducted by qualified and experienced guides in open 4x4 safari vehicles.  The drives are not restricted to public roads in Kruger National Park and mostly make use of tracks formerly reserved for the use of Park officials.

Guests who would like to experience the bush on foot may do so after breakfast as an alternative to a game drive.  These walks are exhilarating and informative - the perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with the wonders of nature, and a great way to stretch your legs and breath the fresh bush air. On request subject to availability.

Village Tours:
The Makuleke Community
The Outpost is a partnership between the Lodge and the Makuleke people.  The development of the Lodge is inextricably linked to the history of the Makuleke people, their forced removal from the region under the Apartheid laws of the old South African government and the subsequent return of title to the Makuleke people.  The history of the Makuleke people is best explored by a visit to the Makuleke Village in the capable hands of a Makuleke guide.  You will wander through the village meeting the community and gain insight as to how the Makuleke was won back and then surrendered to nature for the sake of wildlife and biodiversity.

Clothing and Accessories:

As you will be on drive early morning and late afternoon, it can get a little cold. Ensure you bring warmer clothing for the drop in temperatures if travelling in Winter. Neutral colours are preferred to blend into the surroundings. Comfortable shoes as you will climb off the vehicle for sundowners and morning tea which may include some light bush walking.
