Sit back for I have a ta(i)l to tell…
One of luxury, splendid food and unparalleled game-viewing opportunities.
If, like me, you visited the Kruger National Park back in the day, you will immediately recognize the shape of the accommodation.
But that is where the similarity ends.
Guests are treated now to the finest luxury linen and comfortable beds. With space at a premium in a round building, bespoke fixtures and furniture have been utilized to make the floor space as large and welcoming as possible.
A beautifully appointed bathroom with an outdoor shower will make visitors want to take full advantage of the amenities offered.
The double basins mean no waiting to titivate before setting out refreshed and ready to face whatever Africa has in store.
The outside deck overlooking the river is a great place to relax and unwind.
Sitting here, timing into the natural sounds will enable YOU to reconnect and revitalize your mind, body and spirit.
And animals drinking from the river and waterholes is a bonus.
Food, glorious food. Prepared in an open-plan kitchen just a few steps away.
One of the most enjoyable lemon meringue pie desserts I have had in a long while.
If accommodation can be luxurious, why can food not be as well?
The humble fish and chips are taken to the next level.
This Yellow-billed Hornbill was enjoying this inchworm for breakfast.
Something on the menu for everyone…
Watching a Violet-backed Starling fluffing up its feathers is a special treat.
The call of the wild.
Listening to the vocalization of a lion will alert you to the fact that he is indeed the King of the jungle and lord of all he surveys.
The giraffe is a favourite with both local and international guests alike.
Can you imagine trying to explain a giraffe to someone who has never seen one?
As the sun dips low, casting its golden hues, the horizon becomes a canvas ablaze with fiery brilliance. From the vantage point next to the game viewer, you can witness nature’s masterpiece unfold in panoramic splendour.
Silhouettes of the trees stand as sentinels against the backdrop of the descending sun, while the rhythmic sway of grasses whispers tales of the day’s end.
The air is imbued with a sense of serenity, punctuated only by the distant calls of wildlife bidding farewell to daylight. At this moment, time stands still, and the beauty of the African sunset will captivate your soul.
Just another day in paradise?
Why not! Africa welcomes all visitors and will enable you to make memories that will last for a lifetime.
