Kuname WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE....
Each morning before the fiery sunrise paints the sky and when evening arrives and before the sun sets, an experienced, highly-qualified, field guide and tracker accompanies guests on unhurried game drives in our open game drive vehicle seeking out and getting close to the Big Five and dozens of animal species found on the conservancy.
But a safari or game drive at Kuname is about more than simply ticking off animals on a `game-sighting list` and rushing to find the Big Five. With incredible bird life and century old trees, professional guides, each with an astounding knowledge of the environment, ensure that visitors become participants, rather than just spectators as they feel the rhythms of the veld. A game drive at Kuname is about getting immersed in an African bush experience. A tactile occasion.
Kuname WALKING TRAILS.....
A bush walk with the Kuname River Lodges` experienced ranger is a chance to literally step into a world few ever get the opportunity to experience. It is a nature expedition. Participants get to see animals on their own level, in their unique environment. They learn how everything in a delicate ecosystem has to be in perfect balance if it is to survive and flourish.
On a Karongwe Reserve bush walk, the emphasis is on the little creatures and tiny things that play vital roles in the functioning of this unique environment. Participants learn about medicinal plants, the region`s lesser-known fauna and flora and veld-skills that have been passed from generation to generation by the region`s indigenous people.
To really feel the bush one needs to sit quietly and listen and feel Africa`s rhythms. Slowly the ancient edifice of wondrous architecture - the landscape, will educate your spirit, reminding you of the fragile intricacies of the bush and our special role and responsibility to protect sacred land.
BIRD WATCHING AT KUNAME...
With over 250 different bird species at home on the conservancy, Kuname River Lodge is a spectacular birding destination for the more discerning bird-watcher. Join a skilled and knowledgeable field guide for a birding excursion to identify and appreciate the vast amount of species that Kuname and the Karongwe Private Game Reserve has to offer.
