Mountain Biking
Swimming pool
Mountain Biking:
A good network of farm roads enables the cyclist to enjoy riding in the bush. Tracks are either smooth or 4x4. There is always the possibility of coming face to face with a Zebra or a Giraffe around the next corner! Alternatively, the public roads outside the farm have very little traffic and offer longer rides.
Game Viewing:
Izintaba offers a diversity of habitats from open plains to rocky kloofs, to dams and seasonal rivers. This enables it to support a wide selection of wildlife. Guests are able to drive in their own cars on the farm to look for game. Most roads are suitable for sedan cars and only a few require 4x4. A map of the farm is provided on arrival. Alternatively, informative early morning or afternoon game drives with our FGASA qualified guide can be booked on arrival.
Walking:
Izintaba supports a wide range of fauna and flora, and because we do not have any dangerous game, the best way to take it all in and enjoy the beautiful scenery is on foot. There are game paths and with over 25km of roads on the property one can enjoy long easy leisurely walks. For the more energetic, there is a marked walking trail down a scenic kloof, which has waterfalls and rock pools in the rainy season. Take advantage of our bush knowledge and book a guided walk on arrival.
Birding:
Discover the joy of bird watching with over 200 species recorded in the area. Check lists provided on request.
Swimming:
Cool off in the large swimming pool set amongst granite boulders.
Tree Spotting:
The flora is very diversified due to the variety of habitats. It's a wonderful hobby to walk about identifying trees and wild flowers with a good reference book.
Picnic Sites:
Pack a picnic and enjoy the surroundings at one of our picnic sites.
Photography:
There are endless possibilities for the keen nature photographer, especially as guests have access to all areas of the property, including a few hides.
