The accommodation is beautifully designed and exceptionally private, ranging from elegant suites to the spectacular Africa House, a fully staffed private villa that works especially well for families and groups. Days revolve around safari, with twice-daily game drives, walking experiences, bush meals, and the opportunity to see the Big Five in their natural environment. The lodge also has a beautiful spa, swimming pool, gym, and excellent dining, allowing guests to balance adventure with complete relaxation.
