The most popular of our activities we offer are without a doubt the daily wild habituated meerkat tours. (No tours on rainy days & Christmas day).
Meerkats are part of the so-called Shy 5 which also includes the bat-eared fox, the aardvark, porcupine and aardwolf. The meerkat tours last between 2-3 hours and booking is essential. Upon arrival at the meerkat burrows, guests are treated to a hot cup of coffee, after which they are issued with a lightweight aluminum chair to sit in while observing the meerkats as they come out of the burrow into the sunshine and then go about their daily routine of foraging and frolicking. These habituated wild animals are never fed or handled by humans.
Tours are presented by experienced tour guides. It is a fantastic experience & unique privilege to get this close to these little creatures in the wild.
The day before the booked tour, the guides have to go out and search for the meerkats. Upon his return from the field he will then inform us of the meeting point and time…
No children under the age of 10 years allowed as you have to sit very quietly in order not to scare the little creatures. Pictures may be taken So please bring your Camera.

Meerkat Adventures
We had our meerkat tour at the end of July. It was a very cold but sunny morning. We were very happy to have some warm tea and blankets. I lost the name of our guide but let's just say that we loved his sense of humor and the way he explained and shared all his knowledge about these funny creatures! Our family laughed so much during this tour and are still talking about the whole experience. It was very interesting and the most detailed info I ever had on one animal. And then to realize that they are very cute the way they wake up but that they are useless. (Still, very cute though!) We admire the guides who are doing this every single day. Their patience with observing the meerkats but also with the tourists who join in the tour is phenomenal! We would definitely recommend this tour for everybody. Especially families! - Herremans
The whole experience was fantastic and exciting. Perfect organization. The guides were very helpful and provided us with a lot of information about meerkats and their lives. - Laura
We had a fantastic Meerkat experience and saw the family of 7 on our morning. The first meerkat popped up and was about 2 metres from where we were sat which delighted my son. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and allowed us to take as many pictures and videos as we wished. There were 9 people in our group to see the meerkats. 10/10 from all of us ?. Thank you! - Nicki
Absolutely amazing, I actually cried! To watch Meerkats that close up in the wild where they belong, was just awesome. The guide we had was phenomenal, the detail he knew about the Meerkats and in particular this group was fantastic. I felt like I'd be dropped into the middle of a nature documentary! - Michelle
The experience was amazing. My husband and I have always liked meerkats, but seeing them in person is something else entirely. the coffee at the meeting point was a welcome treat given the early wake-up call. our ranger was great, explaining a lot about the environment we were in as well as the life and behaviour of the meerkats. it was great to see them come out one by one and interact with each other! I recommend this experience to everyone. ilaria and Gianluca - ILARIA
