Game Drives

Bona Bona Game Lodge hosts four of the big five and is only a stone throw away from Johannesburg. While it’s always a thrill to get up close and personal with some of the bigger game, don’t underestimate the magic of some of the smaller bush creatures and birdlife. Our professional guides will entertain you with facts and figures about the fauna and flora on our farm. As Bona Bona Game Breeders are part of the group of companies guests can experience the manner in which professional game breeding takes place. Due to the popularity of the drives trips have to be pre-booked.

Early Morning Game Drives @ 05:30

For the early birds who enjoy the breaking of a new day Bona Bona Game Lodge offers breath taking moments. Animals are also more relaxed and we find our guests see far more species from close by during these drives. Our Game Ranger is experienced and will treat you with a fresh cup of coffee and homemade rusks while stopping at viewpoints to indulge the fresh air and witness the dawn of a new day!

Night Game Drives @ 20:00
