As an exclusive property, all activities revolve around the guests and their pace. Activities are many and diverse. Boat trips on the Rufiji are best for viewing water fowl and hippo and also offer a unique perspective on the plains game as they come down to the water to drink. Game drives in 4×4 vehicles led expert guides cover large swathes of terrain quickly in pursuit of animal encounters. For a more intimate and detailed look at the Reserve, a walking safari examines smaller flora and fauna often missed from the vehicles. Fly-camping is perfect for those guests wishing to truly sleep under the stars in a mosquito-netted tent on a soft mattress and feather pillow with the sounds of nature for a lullaby. There is even a three-course candlelit meal and a glass of chilled wine.

The main thatched mess tent includes comfortable sofas and chairs for an afternoon of general laziness. There is also a communal pool for an afternoon dip as well as a library and bar. Breakfast can be enjoyed on a sand bank in Stigler’s Gorge watching elusive monkey-hunting crowned eagles. While lunches can be eaten in the shade of a palm tree as the animals pass by on their way to the river.
