Exhilarating Game Drives

Here, the day starts as dawn breaks over the African bushveld.

After an early morning wakeup call, a hot drink & rusks are served on the main deck to rouse the senses. Shortly after, the morning game drive departs in an open vehicle with our experienced guides and trackers. Together, they utilise their knowledge of the wildlife and local area to seek out some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife – from wild lions and gentle elephants to towering giraffes and breath-taking birdlife. Discover the magical world of medicinal plants and marvel as they unravel the secrets of the bushveld through track and sign. A game drive at Waterbuck invokes all the senses and our guides will invite you to smell, touch and listen to nature’s rhythm.

After a day of rest and refuelling at the lodge, the afternoon game drive brings another opportunity to dive into the African wilderness. This time, your adventure ends in darkness and a chance to uncover seldom-seen nocturnal species by torchlight. Each game drive, lasting roughly three hours apiece, includes a stop at a local beauty spot to replenish on coffee and tea in the morning, or a cool beverage in the evening, plus a trove of tasty snacks.
