Itinerary

1. The game drive usually takes place in the early morning or late afternoon, when wildlife is most active. During this time, the air is cool, and animals come out to feed or move around. As guests travel through the open landscapes of the lodge, they can experience the beauty of the Botswana bush, including rolling hills, open valleys, and natural vegetation. During the drive, visitors may encounter a variety of animals that live in the area. While Big Valley Game Lodge does not focus on large predators, guests can see animals such as zebras, ostriches, antelope, and other wildlife in their natural habitat. These sightings provide a peaceful and educational experience, especially for those interested in nature and conservation. The animals are often calm and move freely, allowing visitors to observe their natural behavior without disturbance.
