The pool under the palms
The ideal way to cool off after a hot Lowveld day of game viewing or sightseeing. Grab a seat on the shaded patio, or fire up the braai as the sun goes down.
The pool and braai area also make a relaxed venue for small parties and touring groups.
Meals, gatherings and conferences
Dinner and packed meals for the Park are available on request, served in our thatched dining room.
The same space works well for family celebrations, anniversaries, touring groups, corporate getaways and motivational sessions.
