For the more adventurous and those wishing for a different safari experience, then a mountain bike safari is for you. Your biking safari guide will hand-pick the correct mountain bike for your height and then you set off from the lodge down into the park. You do not cycle through the protected reserve, so as to avoid the buffalo, but you will meander through the open park, passing grazing zebra, antelopes, warthog and some of the smaller animals you might miss from a game vehicle.

This is not an extreme mountain bike ride and the sandy tracks are meant for a gentle ride, with rides lasting anywhere between 1 and 5 hours, depending on what you might spot and when you are happy to end the ride.

*The cost of the bike goes to the Mihingo Conservation Foundation which helps to protect and conserve the leopard and hyena population as well as supporting the community and various schools*
