Your stay includes morning and afternoon game drives, with the option to request a night drive in place of the afternoon activity within the Khwai concession. Guided mokoro excursions may also be available depending on seasonal water levels. Guests interested in birding can arrange a specialist guide for an additional fee, and optional helicopter flights are also available at an additional fee.
After lunch, you will have some free time to explore your surroundings or relax before heading out on your afternoon game drive. At the end of the day, return to the lodge for pre-dinner drinks and enjoy a delicious safari-style dinner in the tranquil and beautiful setting of the Khwai River.
