Game Drives

Discover the thrill of following a pride of lions or sitting amidst a herd of elephants as they peacefully feed and play just metres away.

For many visitors, a Big Five safari where you can see animals like lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo, is the highlight of their trip to South Africa. At Shimungwe, our passionate guide and tracker team will take you on mesmerising game drives, twice a day at dawn and at dusk, into the African bushveld - included as part of your Shimungwe experience.

With more than twenty years of experience in the area, our guiding team knows every nook of this untamed wilderness. Together, they utilise their extensive knowledge to cultivate extraordinary wildlife sightings of the Big Five as well as plentiful plains game and even rare African wild dogs. Explore dizzying colours and aromas, marvel at soul-lifting sunsets and uncover the secrets of the bush through your guide’s fascinating stories of this profound ecosystem. Each game drive at Shimungwe is an experience that will be marked on your heart forever.
