The property features an outdoor heated pool complete with a poolside bar, lounge, restaurant and private massage tents.

Activities include game drives, walking safaris, hot-air balloon safaris with spectacular views of the wildlife, sundowner bush cocktail and private romantic dinner served on the deck.
