ONGUMA GAME RESERVE

Over the years, we have observed that activities that are longer than 3 to 4 hours are very straining for kids younger than 10 years. Occasionally, we do make exceptions for our Sundownder drive if families with young kids do combine a drive with other guests that also do have young kids, however, the age limit is still 6 years, this is due to safety reasons as we do have predators on the property and our game drive vehicles are open vehicles.

However, we do offer a Young Explorer walk for kids from ages 5 to 12 years. This educational and interactive activity is aimed at our younger bush explorers. Designed to excite and educate our younger visitors on the wild African bush. This gentle walk meanders through the natural bush at Onguma Bush Camp, so it’s safe, yet highly informative. Getting up close and personal with various animal skulls and horns, termite mounds, testing balancing skills, shooting with “ketties” (a local name for a slingshot), tracking spoor, shooting with a bow and arrows, old hunting secrets from our African forefathers and the local trees and plants found along the way.

This exciting expedition ends with a craft making session making a personal take home souvenir.

Duration approximately 1 to 2 hours.

I hope that the short description of the Young Explorers walk will convince you and your family to return to Onguma in the near future.
