Scheduled activities from the lodge include morning and afternoon game drives.
Additional activities comprise highly recommended guided bush walks, in addition to local village and school visits.
The bush spa offers all sorts of treatments, from full-body stress-relief massages to reflexology to rehydrating wraps. This is the perfect place to be between safaris.
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.
