Activities

The biggest headache for conference and event’s organisers is finding a place where people aren’t going to head off on their own in small groups.
It’s really important to forge a group spirit with no outside influence.
That’s what makes Bonamanzi Game Reserve so ideal – top class facilities and loads for delegates to do in their leisure time.
At Bonamanzi Game Reserve we understand that there is nothing worse than sitting around all day in a conference, eating, drinking and feeling sluggish after getting no exercise for two or three days.
So, to keep your group bright eyed and responsive during the day, we lay on plenty of energetic and enjoyable activities.

Bonamanzi Crocodile Feeding Show

Find yourselves fascinated by our amazing crocodile feeding show, informative and intriguing – guests may participate safely by choice.

The Boat Cruise

Is a guided boat cruise on the Hluhluwe River accompanied by very knowledgeable guides who will teach the group so much about the area and famous birdlife in a fun way. Guests can sit in groups of three and participate in a quiz about the area and the wildlife they encounter enroute with prizes for the winning team.
