Activities

1. Nature Excursion
This guided Nature excursion is a combination of a game drive and a walking safari
that takes guests out into the Ohorongo Private Game Reserve, on an informative
excursion to explore nature, spectacular wildlife, and archaeological sites where
guests can view magnificent rock engravings and paintings. The guide will address
guests’ preferences for the Nature Excursion, allowing them to determine their
desired level of activity. The itinerary may feature a variety of walking trails, but if
guests prefer more driving, the guides will adjust the program accordingly.
Eland, Kudu, Mountain Zebra, and Giraffes are some of the animals that can be
seen. If guests choose to be more active, they will climb up beautiful granite rock
boulders and walk along a dry riverbed to learn the skill of reading and tracking
animals to gain in-depth knowledge of the Small Big Five living in this unique ecosystem.

If guests have a particular interest in ornithology, they will be rewarded
on these trips, as some endemic bird species of northwestern Namibia inhabit
these areas and are commonly sighted during these Nature Excursions. Endemic
birds like the Damara Hornbill, Hartlaub’s Francolin, and White-tailed Shrike, or rare
sightings in this region such as an African Jacana, Saddle-billed, or Woolly-necked
Stork, can be observed.
At stunning locations, delightful refreshments await, providing the perfect ambiance
to share tales of the remarkable sites encountered during the nature excursion

2. Night Drive (A must-do!)
Guests can immerse themselves in the nightlife of the African Bush by joining the
night drive, typically departing after dinner. This excursion presents opportunities
to observe the shy African Wildcats, Genets, Jackals, and Owls among others.

3. Rhino Tracking
Depending on the weather conditions, guests, accompanied by their guide, will
depart early in the morning (half an hour before sunrise) following coffee/tea and
rusks, to meet the Rhino Rangers, who oversee the tracking and monitoring of the
Rhino. En route to meeting the Rangers, guests will have the opportunity to witness the breathtaking highlights of a sunrise in the African Bush. The Rangers, along
with the guest guide, will provide an initial introduction to the tracking procedure
and the Black Rhino Custodianship Project itself. Afterwards, they will be tracking a Rhino allowing guests to approach this iconic animal in its natural habitat. Following this unforgettable experience, the guests will drive back on an informative
nature excursion to the camp/lodge in time for a hearty brunch.
The Rhinos oversee our land, and we respect their environment, and our activity is
designed around their comfort.
Soft drinks, fruits & cookies are served during this unforgettable excursion.

4. Guided Nature Walk
We depart from the lodge or the camp early in the morning to explore this magnificent Private Reserve on foot. Rusks and Coffee are served before we depart. We
walk along dry riverbeds to learn the skill of tracking animals and to gain knowledge of the Little Big Five living in this unique ecosystem. Endemic birds like the
Damara Hornbill, Hartlaub’s Francolin, and White-tailed Shrike, or rare sightings in
this region such as an African Jacana, Saddle-billed, or Woolly-necked Stork, can
be observed.
