These activities can be booked by e-mail or by contacting the park directly. Here are the camp telephone and fax numbers.

Note that children under the age of 6 are not permitted to take part in these activities for their own safety.

New additional drive options

All the above drives for the camps will be available through the SANParks’ central reservation system, as well as drives from the main gates. However an additional offering is an all-day-drive where, on request and availability at camp level, guests may hire the use of a vehicle and driver for the entire day, subject to availability. Trained officials take visitors to sections of the park which are usually inaccessible to tourists. This service can also be arranged from other camps at an additional fee.
