Rhino tracking on foot is led by the anti-poaching team. Pangolin tracking operates at night in summer and by day in winter, joining researchers from the AfriCat Foundation. Game drives cross the reserve without telemetry, focusing on wildlife movement across the wider landscape. Guided bush walks and self-guided trails are mapped from reception.
