Walking Safaris and Nature Trails
Our rangers know the trails and woods like their own homes, and are happy to help you track wildlife throughout the conservancy. There is no fee for a walking safari – simply arrange with our reception and tip your guide for their services. You are also welcome to venture into the meadows or self-guided trails on your own – just beware that animals may charge when startled.
There are a number of clearly marked self-guided nature trails for you to explore in the conservancy. We advise that you do not venture off of the trails or open meadows in the conservancy, as some animals may charge when startled. Interested in doing some bush-whacking? Simply inquire at the reception, and we would be happy to arrange for one of our experienced rangers to accompany you on an off-trail hike.
