Each air-conditioned chalet accommodates two adults and comprises a bedroom, lounge, en-suite bathroom with separate shower room and second toilet. All luxury amenities are included.

The changing moods of the day are allowed to become an integral part of the decor. Early morning, the reed blinds appear transparent when sunlight filters through, bringing the gradual awakening of the bush into the peaceful bedroom ambiance.

What to pack
During summer, light weight comfortable clothing is recommended. If you are going on safari, make sure you pack a warm jacket for the evenings, as it can get quite chilly on the back of an open vehicle when the sun sets, even in the summer months. Comfortable walking shoes are also advisable.
The idea at game reserves is to relax and enjoy your time under the African sky, and listen to the calls of the wild all around you! Dinner dress is therefore casual and comfortable.
Don't forget to bring along your camera. A pair of binoculars will also come in handy on game drives and for spotting game from your lodge.
