There’s no such thing as a ‘normal’ day at Ndaka. Some days we’ll sneak off for a spot of fishing; other days we’ll head off to a special spot for a bush breakfast or go for a swim at the river. As each day dawns, so a new story unfolds.
Although spattered with surprises, a typical day at Ndaka Safari Lodge consists of the following:
| Before your morning drive | Start the day with a warm cup of tea or a cappuccino (don’t forget one of Olgah’s famous crunchies), before heading out onto the plains to see what sightings the dawn has to bring. |
| Summer 05h00 Autumn 05h30 Winter 06h00 Spring 05h30 | The morning game drive in open Land Cruiser game viewers departs. |
Enjoy the vistas and morning birdsong of the Nambiti Game Reserve with a stop to stretch your legs and a welcome cup of hot chocolate (with a splash of Amarula, of course!) and some home-baked treats.
| 08h00 - 09h00 | About three hours later, return to the lodge where a hearty breakfast awaits you in the dining room or on the deck. |
Relax around the pool, get lost in a book, play board games with the family or have a siesta – your time is your own!
Kids can play on the jungle gym, swim in the pool, play a game of soccer and make new friends.
| 13h30 | No need for the kids to stop playing in the garden or swimming in the pool at lunchtime! Lunch is light and informal, so tuck in and enjoy on a lounger or on a picnic blanket in the garden. |
| 15h00 - 16h00 | Meet outside the lapa for your afternoon game drive. |
Your guide will have the cooler box packed for sundowners. Prepare to be amazed as you track wildlife and share the panoramic sunset with fellow safari-ers over a G&T. The stars have their turn to shine while your guide searches for creatures of the night.
| 18h30 - 19h00 | On returning to the lodge, freshen up or join fellow guests at the fire pit or at the bar to share your bush experience before dinner is served. |
| 19h30 | Prepare to have your taste buds tickled with a three-course dinner of tasty cuisine. |
After dinner, relax with a glass of wine or a hot cappuccino, appreciating the natural beauty and unique sounds and sightings of another day in Africa at Ndaka Safari Lodge.
