The Addo Raptor & Reptile Center is only 10 minutes away from the lodge and offers visitors the opportunity to experience a safe encounter with a variety of birds of prey and reptiles. A rehabilitation and education center for all ages. Snake shows at the Lodge and the Private Safari Villa can be arranged. This experience of a lifetime is headed by Darren, who has over 20 years of experience. He will gladly come to the lodge and let you and your family conquer your fears by holding "Sludge", an Egyptian Cobra or "Sydney", the mellow Boomslang or even "Shorty", the not-so-friendly Puff Adder! One of our young guests even went for a swim with an Anaconda.
An unforgettable experience!
