Game viewing experiences at Parsons Hilltop Safari Camp
At Parsons, in the Balule Game Reserve, you can find the Big Five among many species of birdlife and an abundance of smaller wildlife. Our guides, qualified and knowledgeable wildlife experts, will take you on safari, on foot or by open game vehicle.
As the number of lodges on our reserve is limited, we are able to enjoy animal sightings privately, undisturbed by other spectators. We will take time to explain whatever you are interested in and stay longer at a sighting if you wish. We tailor each safari experience entirely to your interest!
There is no exclusive right to a private game drive when booking the Parsons House or the Parsons River Camp. A private game drive for your group must be booked seperately at the costs of private use of the game viewer, based on availability.
