Guided game drives and walks, identifying birds, visits to rock painting sites and animal tracking are just some of the activities geared to keep the youngsters entertained at Mountain Zebra National Park this December.
Day visitors and overnight guests with children between the ages of six and 16 will be pleased to know that the park will once again offer a two-week long holiday programme from 8 to 21 December. Aimed at both the young as well as the young at heart, most activities are free of charge, except for the game drives, which are offered only to the youngsters at a reduced rate.
