Junior Rangers Programme
With various activities to take part in including game drives, bush walks, picnicking and more, Kwa Maritane and Bakubung have developed something even more engaging, the Junior Rangers Programme.

Game drives
In the evenings, guests are taken on a game drive. The animals are habituated to the vehicle, so they are used to the vehicle approaching them and know that it never causes them harm. This enables you to get within 5 to 10 metres of the larger predators, even while they're feasting on a recent kill.

Game drive departure times vary dependant on the season together with Park Entry Gate opening times

1. Morning Drive – 3 hours duration, early departure in summer, returning in time for a late breakfast. Departs at 08h00 during the Wintermonths.

2. Afternoon Drive – 3 hours duration with a stop in the reserve for sundowners. Game is viewed by spotlight on the return journey.
