Due to the conservation efforts in the area, you also have a high probability of encountering other animals such as lions, leopards, antelope, and a plethora of birds. Besides private game drives, you can also enjoy a leisurely Mzinene River cruise, world-class diving, observe turtle nesting habits, swim with whale sharks, or visit a local Zulu village where you can learn about the native people and culture.
