Staying at Genlivet hotel gives you a chance to visit the nearby game park which is just a half an hour drive to reach. Kyle Recreatonal Park is rich in wildlife, including three of the Big Five; White Rhino, Buffalo and Leopard. The park is scenically one of the most attractive parks in the Country, its major attractions being a thriving white rhino population. The absence of predators and elephants allows for an environment of undisturbed trees and a flourishing game population. Kyle Recreational Park lies on the eastern edge of the Highveld and is susceptible to varied climatic conditions. Although usually hot, Kyle is subject to heavy mist “guti” due to the proximity of the lake, and it can be quite cold. This guided tour will cost you $25 including transport from Glenlivet hotel.
