Suites
Step into a world of pure indulgence as you enter our uber-luxurious suites. Accommodating just 24 guests, the suites are well-spaced and totally private, camouflaged by tamboti trees and thatch roofs.
Each suite is elegantly decorated using earthy tones and natural materials which blend harmoniously with the surrounding wilderness, creating a seamless connection with nature. From your private deck, marvel at views of the African bush, where wildlife roam freely.
Shared Spaces
Wooden walkways lit by hurricane lamps criss-cross the grounds and connect the secluded suites to the central open areas. Here you will find a lounge, bar, wine cellar, TV room and dining area, where cooling fans make slow rotations and the giant twisted trunks of leadwood trees hold up the vaulted ceiling.
An intimate, circular room at the Main Lodge has a television with a satellite decoder for anyone who has to watch an important sports game or news. There are also a few books for those who wish to read a bit on the deck of their suites. For those wanting to keep in touch with family members back home, complimentary Wi-Fi is available.
Bar & Lounge
The thoughtfully-designed shared spaces provide comfort and relaxation between activities. Our lounge area features plush furnishings and wildlife-inspired décor, an idyllic spot to unwind and swap tales of the day’s adventures.
For those seeking a moment of serenity, our library offers a quiet retreat, where you can lose yourself in the pages of a captivating book. The bar is where to be for pre-dinner drinks and fireside chat with your friendly game rangers and managers.
Deck
The main deck overlooking the waterhole is the perfect place to while away the day under a cool umbrella. Our main swimming pool offers respite from the harsh African sun, and is a great way to relax with a cocktail in the afternoon.
