Activity itinerary

Big Valley Game Lodge

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
The game drive usually takes place in the early morning or late afternoon, when wildlife is most active. During this time, the air is cool, and animals come out to feed or move around. As guests travel through the open landscapes of the lodge, they can experience the beauty of the Botswana bush, including rolling hills, open valleys, and natural vegetation. During the drive, visitors may encounter a variety of animals that live in the area. While Big Valley Game Lodge does not focus on large predators, guests can see animals such as zebras, ostriches, antelope, and other wildlife in their natural habitat. These sightings provide a peaceful and educational experience, especially for those interested in nature and conservation. The animals are often calm and move freely, allowing visitors to observe their natural behaviour without disturbance. A trained guide leads each game drive, sharing knowledge about the animals, plants, and surroundings.

Crocodile Pools River Safaris

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Crocodile Pools Wildlife & Boat Cruise Enjoy a peaceful yet exciting boat cruise at Crocodile Pools, one of the most scenic water-based wildlife experiences near Gaborone. This guided cruise takes you through calm waterways where you can observe a variety of bird species, including African fish eagles, kingfishers, herons, and other water birds in their natural habitat. The area is also known for its crocodiles and hippos, which are often seen resting along the riverbanks or moving through the water. Viewing wildlife from the boat offers a safe and unique perspective, perfect for photography and relaxed sightseeing. Led by experienced local guides, the cruise includes informative commentary on the ecosystem, wildlife behaviour, and conservation efforts.
