The combination of Motlala Reserve and Kruger National Park gives you diverse habitats and the chance to see a wide variety of species.
The private reserve often provides opportunities to see predators at close range from the open vehicles.
On the bush walk, you may witness smaller wildlife signs: insects, spoor, birdlife, and perhaps even scuttling small mammals or reptiles.
The morning sunrise drive is especially good for spotting nocturnal animals at their most active, as well as birdlife beginning their day.
