Explore the Olifants River on the Kambaku Boat Cruise, a three-hour water safari that offers a different way to experience Greater Kruger. Departing from Hideaways Amava River Lodge, this activity starts with a short game drive to the river’s edge before boarding the comfortable houseboat.
The slow-moving river is a hotspot for wildlife. Expect regular sightings of hippos, crocodiles, and elephants coming down to drink. You may also see buffalo, waterbuck, and other antelope along the riverbanks. Bird enthusiasts can look out for species such as the African fish eagle, kingfisher, heron, and saddle-billed stork.
The boat’s open deck allows for excellent wildlife viewing and photography. Guests can relax with a drink in hand as the boat cruises quietly through the river channels, offering a peaceful break from the typical game drive.
