Recommended game drives from this camp:1. Exiting Balule to the left on the
S91, take the first left onto the
S90 and travel south past the Bangu Waterhole. Take the next left, immediately following the Gudanzi Waterhole, onto the
S41, which leads to the Gudanzi Dam. Return to camp along the same route, or take the
S100 to the
H1-4, which leads north, back to the camp.
2. Exit the camp to the right, on the
S92. Take the
H8 right at the T-junction and turn left at the
S93. From here, drive up to Von Wielligh’s Baobab and turn right at the fork, onto the
S44. Follow this road, which passes a lookout point and rejoins the
H8. The
S92 branches off from the
H8 to the left, and will return you to camp.
