The Flights Of Fancy Route (6)

“Travel light let the sun eclipse you, 'Cause your flight is about to leave, And there's more to this brave adventure, Than you'd ever believe, Birdseye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you, Wide eyes will always brighten the blue, Chase your dreams, and remember me, speak bravery, 'cause after all those wings will take you, up so high, So bid the forest floor goodbye, as you brace the wind and, Take to the sky... you take to the sky”

The Wildlife Watchers Route (7)

The West Rand’s Wildlife Watchers, includes a wide array of animals including the Big 5 & also some rarely-seen species that provide our dedicated viewers with a reward for hours of patient waiting. Besides the animals themselves, watchable wildlife describes an increasingly popular pursuit for many travellers. Wildlife watching is a pastime that can be enjoyed in any season & by any age group. Unlike a lot of other recreational activities, special equipment to watch wildlife, is not required. Wildlife watchers need to come equipped only with a sense of appreciation for our living resources and the knowledge of where to look for them. At many of our establishments, specialist guides will assist your Wildlife watching experience!
