In addition to twice-daily game drives in Land Rovers led by professional guides and trackers, guests can request guided safari walks and private game drives. Many of these trips are successful in providing guests with unrestricted views of local lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhinoceros populations. For the more adventurous, mountain biking with a guide and tracker over rugged terrain provides a thrilling look at the bushveld. The lodge even has archery lessons available. With clear skies overhead, stargazing through telescopes is a popular pastime here. Children have their own specialty activities such as baking with the chef and a mini rangers course that includes lessons in tracking and astronomy.

The main dining area as well as the open plan lounge and bar area showcase panoramic views of the river and bush. A traditional boma lets guests dine under the stars. Other main lodge features include a swimming pool, library, spa with fully-equipped gymnasium, and internet connections. Visitors can enjoy the teeming wildlife from the comfort of the sweeping lodge viewing deck or from the relaxing lap pool deck. Large, white-cushioned sunbeds, sleek finishes, and natural African elements contribute to the lodge’s sophisticated, contemporary design. There is even a boutique for authentic carving and jewelry by local artisans.
