GET YOUR PASSPORT
Passports are collected from reception when you arrive at Jackalberry Ridge. Sign-up happens on site, not online, so there is nothing to arrange before you travel.
GOOD TO KNOW

Sign up at reception on arrival at Finfoot Lake Reserve. Children get a digital passport that tracks the activities they complete, managed by the Dream Xplorers Champion.
Signing up for Dream Xplorers is part of staying at Finfoot Lake Reserve. Some guided activities that count towards badges, such as game drives, are booked and charged separately at reception.
Six badge categories cover bush walks, canoeing, a scavenger hunt, bird houses around the reserve, face painting, a marshmallow braai, stargazing, giant Jenga, bird bingo and planting a tree, among others.
A reward comes with each completed category at Finfoot Lake Reserve, building from a small treat at the first level to a Dream Xplorer hat once all six are finished.
Yes. The Dream Xplorers passport travels with the child, so categories started at Finfoot Lake Reserve can be continued at any participating Dream Hotels and Resorts property.
