Things to do at Sikumi Tree Lodge

The Sikumi Tree Lodge in Hwange is located in a private game reserve bordering the Hwange National Park with no fence in between. You therefore have the opportunity of viewing game in two reserves, both famous for the huge numbers of elephant, leopard, wild dog, lion, giraffe, to name but a few species. 

Game Drives 

Guests can self-drive or take part in a guided drive in an open four-wheel drive safari vehicle from Sikumi Tree Lodge. Early morning, late afternoon and night game drives are offered at Sikumi Tree Lodge. Early morning, afternoon and nocturnal game drives in  open four-wheel drive vehicles. These drives take place both within the private wildlife reserve and into the adjacent Hwange  National park offering guests an unrivalled opportunity to experience Africa’s spectacular wildlife. 

Morning Walking Safaris

 

Hwange was proclaimed some 80 years ago and has served as a haven for one of the densest concentrations of game in Africa. There is no better way to experience this park than on foot with an experienced safari guide.

Walking safaris are available on request

 

Sikumi Tree Lodge's Wildlife 

It should really have be included in the area under the protection of the National Park! However its exclusion is to the advantage of the safari tourist, with lower reserve fees and the opportunity to undertake night drives on the estate. There is no boundary fence between this private estate and the National park and game wanders freely between the two.

The area has been well watched over the years and returned regular sightings of lion, cheetah, buffalo, black-backed jackal and wild dog amongst more common sightings of Sable, Elephant, Zebra, Giraffe and various other antelope species.

Hwange is also known for its birds, with over 400 species being recorded within the area. The Dete Vlei is again no exception, and is not only a good place to find outstanding resident species such as the various species of Ground Hornbill and Secretary bird, but also offers the chance to find passing migrants at the right time of year.
