Segways safaris

At Finfoot Lake Reserve, you can hop on one of our two-wheeled, self-balancing personal transporters. A great activity for the whole family, Segways are the coolest way to meander around the area without breaking a sweat. After a quick 15-minute training session to get used to it, you’ll set off on your adventure with your qualified Segway guide to enjoy a smooth ride with your best Segway smile.

Bird Watching

If you’re an avid birder (and even if you’re not), you will delight in waking up to the cheer of our happy local choristers. This lodge setting near Johannesburg provides a stunning backdrop for bird sightings as a myriad of species congregate around the surrounding bush and lake area during the day. Keep your eyes peeled for African skimmers and Kingfishers and listen out for the unmistakable call of the Fish eagle that can sometimes be heard.

Barge Cruises

All aboard for our unforgettable sunset barge cruise. Bring your sundowner drink of choice as we cruise out over the water just before heading up to the restaurant for dinner. The scenery illuminated by the last light of the day makes for excellent photography.

Canoe trips

If you’re looking for action of the paddling variety, you’re in for a treat. Hop into one of our canoes where you can explore the aquatic ecosystems of the lake. This is an easy activity for all of our guests to try during their stay. Lifejackets are also provided..

Game Drives

Finfoot Lake Reserve is the perfect safari break near Johannesburg for those wanting to see South Africa’s wildlife.

Guided Bush walks

Experience the delight of a guided nature walk after breakfast, which offers an up-close perspective of the surrounding landscape.
