Between safari activities, there's plenty of space for unwinding including an upstairs lounge and bar with an open terrace, and a downstairs lounge with a large television and billiard table. There is also a wonderful spa, with a great range of treatments on offer to further enhance your luxury stay in the midst of the African bush.
