Kichaka Lodge

The main areas flow effortlessly from indoor to outdoor spaces, with the cocktail bar positioned perfectly for waterhole surveillance (purely for scientific purposes, naturally). The dining room opens onto expansive terraces where meals are served with views that change by the hour, depending on which creatures have decided to drop by. The spa boasts panoramic vistas that make it rather difficult to concentrate on relaxation when there's a parade of game wandering past your treatment room window. There's also a well-equipped gym for those who prefer their cardio with a view, and a private library that's ideal for losing yourself in a good book between wildlife viewings.

Each of the 10 suites is positioned for maximum privacy and optimal game viewing, with private decks that feel like your own personal observation post. The heated plunge pools are perfect for a dawn dip whilst watching the early morning wildlife parade, and the outdoor showers provide that authentic bush experience without sacrificing an ounce of luxury. Inside, natural textures and refined finishes create spaces that feel both sophisticated and utterly comfortable. The bathrooms are particularly indulgent affairs with deep soaking tubs positioned to catch glimpses of the reserve beyond, whilst in-room coffee stations ensure you're properly caffeinated for whatever the day's wildlife encounters might bring.
