Guided game drives
An hour or two out with someone who knows the ground, the animals and where the light falls best.

Experiences
Days shaped by
the farm itself.
Nothing here runs to a timetable.
Some mornings you will ride out before the heat. Some afternoons you will do nothing at all. The horses, the kudu, the tracks and the wide evening sky are simply there, waiting for whenever you feel like it. A few things are worth arranging before you arrive — we have noted those below.
The Arabian horses · out in the paddock
The farm's own
Arabian horses.
The Arabians are part of daily life here. Watch them from the fence in the late afternoon, walk down with a handful of feed, or simply stand quietly while they come to you.
You do not have to ride to enjoy them. For many guests, this ends up being the part of the stay they talk about afterwards.
Experienced riders
Riding out
into the bush.
The bush looks different from the back of a horse — quieter, closer, at the pace of the veld. Rides are suited to guests who already ride confidently and are comfortable out in open country.
From the farm logbook
- Helmets are compulsory and are available on the farm.
- Please bring suitable clothing and closed shoes for riding.
- All riding is undertaken at your own risk.
- Let us know before arrival so the horses can be readied.

Wildlife on the farm
Kudu, and the
quiet of a drive.
The game is free-roaming and unhurried. Nothing is fenced into a show; you simply go out and see what the farm is doing that day.
Kudu in the veld · a guided drive
Kudu feeding
A close, calm encounter with kudu that have grown used to the farm. Slow movements, low voices, no crowds.
Self-drive routes
Take your own vehicle along the farm tracks and stop wherever you feel like stopping.
Sundowner hour
A table,
out in the veld.
A cloth laid out under the thorn trees, something cold, and the sun dropping behind the grass. It takes very little to arrange and it is usually the evening everyone remembers.

Walking tracks · the old windmill
On foot
Walk out and
see where it goes.
Farm roads and footpaths run out from the house in every direction. Take water, take your time, and walk until the house is out of sight. Early morning and late afternoon are the kindest hours.
Birdlife is good all year, and the tracks in the sand will tell you what passed through in the night.
