Wild Relaxation

DESCRIPTION

Guests planning an extended stay at Ombe Guestfarm are invited to experience thrilling wildlife encounters from a well-camouflaged hide, nestled deep within the wilderness. Each day, various game and bird species visit one of the many secluded waterholes within our private game farm.

  • Ombe is a birdwatcher’s paradise, home to over 300 bird species, including majestic eagles, hornbills, vultures, and owls.
  • Unwind as you observe giraffes, a group of bat-eared foxes, or an aardwolf drinking from the waterhole, or antelopes lingering around the salt lick.
  • Immerse yourself in the sounds of nature—hear a warthog grunting as it enjoys a mud bath, the mating calls of impalas, the loud howls of jackals, and the crowing of guinea fowl.
  • Possible special sightings include cheetahs, leopards, brown hyenas, honey badgers, and many more.
