Spend time walking and interacting with a group of Zu/’hoasi Bushmen and gain a fascinating insight into their ancient culture and practices.

During the dry season, go quad biking across the lunar expanse of the pans.
A visit to the Fallen Baobab – one of the three largest and oldest trees in Africa and reputedly the campsite of Livingstone and Selous.
