Standard rooms have been phased out and have been replaced with 8 newly constructed Luxurious Suites. Splendid river views provide ultra luxury in a wild part of Africa. Nestled in the shade of a grove of Ebony trees and on the banks of the Sand River, you will find 8 individually designed and decorated ultra luxury suites As your eyes gaze into the nearby savannah, magnificent views from your private patio enhance the experience. Relax on the private deck of your suite while viewing a herd of elephants in the river below or perhaps a hippo surfacing in the waters.

The suites all have distinctive en-suite bathrooms and provide all the comforts you may desire. Magnificently positioned guest lounges and dining areas overlook the Sand River and compliment the finest cuisine. Teak furniture, deep sofas covered in rich linens and ornaments from the furthest corners of Africa create a welcoming and relaxed ambience The cuisine, complimented by the finest selection of wines lends itself to an experience as exciting as any game drive.
