Property details

The property

More a romantic bush home than a lodge, the main area has a spacious open-planned lounge, dining area and kitchen, where meals are prepared by your private chef. A washed, pastel colour pallet accentuates the rustic décor and tasteful modern furnishings. Huge fold-away doors blend the indoors seamlessly with the outdoors, and an outside lounge mirrors the comforts of inside, with a viewing deck and a rim-flow pool overlooking the river. The overall feel is one of elegant, sumptuous style without compromising on comfort.

The rooms

There are just four thatched, freestanding suites, designed with effortlessly simple 'African chic' décor and a very high standard of comfort and luxury. Huge, fold-away french doors open onto a private deck with a plunge pool and outdoor shower - that is, if you can tear yourself away from the romantic slipper baths, which have exceptional views through floor-to-ceiling glass doors. The feel is indulgent, with wonderfully comfortable beds, mosquito nets and air-conditioning.

Activities

Twice-daily game drives in open-sided Land Rovers will get you close to the abundant wildlife that the area has to offer. There are over 147 mammals, including the Big Five, as well as 507 bird species (not to mention the plethora of tiny insects, amphibians and other tiny creatures that make the ecosystem special!) You can do balloon trips, interactive drumming sessions, a panorama tour of the area or visit the nearby cheetah project. There's also a fully equipped spa for those needing a muscle rub after a long day's game drive.
