Early morning game drive to the dams — the light at this hour on the granite is exceptional. Plains game gathering at water. Return to camp for breakfast. Mid-morning at leisure — swim, read, explore on foot near the lodge. Afternoon tracking drive — your guide reads leopard sign across the property. Sundowner at a favourite granite outcrop.
