Ikhutseng Picnic Site is a quaint little spot set in silver clusterleaf terminaliasericae dominated woodland, where visitors can disembark from theirvehicles and have a picnic (unlike picnic sites in The Kruger, there is noopportunity to hire gas cookers or purchase cool-drinks, so visitors mustbring their own provisions). The site itself is on flat ground, although thesurface is a little sandy or gravelly in places, but generally is not too difficultto move around.

Marakele National Park is a birding haven, where visitors can see closely related species alongside one another, such as Southern Boubou and Crimson-Breasted Shrike. Perhaps the biggest attraction is the largest colony of Cape Vultures in the world (around 800 breeding pairs) so don’t forget your binoculars.
