ACTIVITIES
Bateleur Eco Safaris Lodge offers guests two game drives a day with highly qualified rangers in open 4x4 game viewing vehicles. However what makes Bateleur Eco Safaris Lodge unique is the option to choose to engage in walks and/or drives which take place daily at the lodge. Walking is promoted as an alternative to morning game drives as it allows guests to get up-close & personal with the smaller things, which are often overlooked on drives. Besides being less impactful on the environment these wilderness walks also provide the opportunity for guests to inspect animal tracks & other signs. This provides clues on what animals have passed by and guests learn about the ancient art of tracking. Guests who do not enjoy walking, can opt for 2 drives a day. The late afternoon game drives which continue into the evenings allow guests to experience the behaviour of nocturnal creatures and to enjoy a drink with a breathtaking African sunset. A brief astronomy session is also provided, depending on weather and stars that are visible at the time. At no additional cost, guests are treated to a bush craft experience, where they learn to light fire using the drill and plate method perfected by the San Bushmen; how to carry the fire from one location to the next; how to make rope as well as herbal & medicinal remedies from plants; how to bake bread under the ground; and other bush survival skills learnt and perfected over many years. Additional activities on offer include:
