Attractions / Activities At and Nearby To Finfoot Lake Reserve
Finfoot has a variety of great activities; from the avid bird watcher
to the casual game viewer; from the athletic to the more laid back; from
the private to the corporate visitor.
Game Viewing
Finfoot prides itself at offering one of the richest diversities of game,
bird and plant life in South Africa and can be viewed in open Landrover's,
Canoe, Bushwalks and Sunset Barge Cruises.
The game drives are therefore an experience of the bush, rather than merely
a picture book tour. Our qualified rangers make the experience all the
more valuable, by providing interesting, hands-on information.
Angling
The dam is well known for it's fly and bait angling and offers diverse
species including Carp, Yellow, Curper, Black Bass and Barbel.
Sunset Barge Cruise
The barge is a unique experience in itself. Nothing beats sitting on the
deck, cruising slowly up the length of the lake, while sipping a sundowner
and watching the game come down to the waters edge to drink.
The views are simply magnificent, and the birdlife is spectacular. The
barge also serves as a marshal point for canoe races and team building
activities on the lake.
Canoeing
Our canoes are the ideal way to explore the lake - whether you're fishing
or just wanting some quiet time for yourself or your family, this is the
way to do it. We have a selection of high quality canoes to choose from
- from small 2 seater's to larger canoes that can hold up to 6 people.
Wildlife
Enjoy abundant wildlife and extraordinary bird watching on our 3500 hectare
reserve. Whether relaxing on the barge with a sundowner in hand or in
the jeep for a game viewing trip, remember your binoculars and camera
to capture that 'unforgettable" moment.
Bush Walks
Our bush walks are an experience of the wild - not simply a narrated picture
tour. Our rangers are here to give our visitors a hands-on feel for this
special place. Spoor identification, bird and animal calls, tree and grass
identification, animal behaviour - the experience is all-encompassing.
Boma / Dining
The boma is our lakeside entertainment area - where we enjoy bush braais;
the magnificent stars in the night sky; and the company of friends and
family. Situated next to the lake, it is the perfect way to round off
a sunset barge trip. We also have a lapa area situated close to the lodge,
which is ideal for braais, theme evenings or for just relaxing around
the fire-pit.
Canoeing
Our canoes are the ideal way to explore the lake - whether you're fishing
or just wanting some quiet time for yourself or your family, this is the
way to do it. We have a selection of high quality canoes to choose from
- from small 2 seater's to larger canoes that can hold up to 6 people.
Eco-challenge
Specifically aimed at corporate clients, it is as informative as it is
fun. A day spent in the sun, solving problems, canoeing and just getting
back to nature; team members leave with a greater sense of unity.
- GPS bushwalks
- Canoeing Activities
- Lateral thinking brainteasers
