Sirheni Camp in Kruger National Park has two superb hides positioned about 100 metres (328 feet) apart and connected by a trail which follows the length of the perimeter fence. Like the balconies of most of the cottages, they are raised quite high, giving views over the water and surroundings.

The hide on the perimeter fence, overlooking the Sirheni Dam, is a good place for doing some bird watching. The hide is also the best place for sightseeing and observing game coming down to the water for a drink. Perhaps you could catch a glimpse of Sirheni Camp's resident Leopard which is seen on a regular basis, often coming down to drink at the dam.

Night drives enables the vacationer to take part in the nocturnal nightlife activities of Kruger's secretive creatures. Guided bush walks, in the company of trained field and transportation guides with backup rifles, take groups of up to 8 people out into the bush for a few hours.

Track Rhino, Elephant and Lion on foot and learn and observe fascinating facts about the African bush.
