Other activities

Jembisa offers both day and night game drives, with the latter offering the opportunity to see nocturnal animals such as leopard, brown hyena, aardvark, civet cats and porcupines in addition to the usual ‘day time’ game.

Bush walks are also possible and incredibly popular as you may even get to experience the thrill of walking with rhino. Another favourite, particularly amongst the children is to camp out for a night under the stars, getting closer to nature and waking to the splendid African dawn.

Guests can also choose to relax by the saltwater pool, play a game of tennis on the floodlit court or for extra relaxation opt for a massage either in the privacy of their bedroom or on the secluded deck overlooking the river.
