Entabeni is part of the 22,000 hectare UNESCO World Heritage Waterberg Bio-sphere and it's one of the most picturesque areas in Southern Africa.

This afternoon enjoy your first game drive in the reserve, with views of breath-taking Yellowwood Gorge where the road twists down the escarpment between cliffs, waterfalls and forest. Returning to the lodge enjoy dinner and relax while gazing at the stars or watching the animals pass by as they roam through the unfenced camp.

For the next two days enjoy the daily activities included at Honeyguide Ranger Camp. It's an early wake up to the sound of beating traditional drums and tea / coffee is served at your tent before meeting in reception for the morning game drive. Go in search of wildlife in the reserve for the next 3 hours before returning to the camp for breakfast. Then there's the opportunity to enjoy a Bush Walk (dependent upon numbers). Relax at the lodge and enjoy lunch before an afternoon game drive, followed by an al fresco dinner in the evening. During your time at the lodge there's plenty of time to relax and experience other optional activities that are on offer including hiking, star gazing, spa treatments and Bush Sundowners.
