| Wildlife is high on the agenda at Mongena. We offer early morning and late afternoon game drives with experienced rangers taking you to the best rhino sightings imaginable. Other species one can expect to see are Hippo, Giraffe, Eland, Kudu, Impala, Springbuck, Zebra, Blue Wildebeest (Gnu), Red Hartebeest, Tsessebe Warthog, Jackal and the occasional Leopard. In early 2009 lion and buffalo will be introduced by the Dinokeng authorities into the reserve. The viewing deck at the boma is worth a stop-over on your game drive to enjoy the splendid view over the 20 hectare dam. Board the luxury boat for a sunset cruise and watch the sky turn to a romantic purple-blue whilst listening to the African Fish Eagle’s cry . A cash bar and complimentary snacks are available on all game drives and sunset cruises for your enjoyment. The dam and its adjoining wetlands lend themselves to splendid bird watching. Over 300 species have been recorded on the reserve - we invite you to come and find your ‘lifer’.
