WILDLIFE

When you enter the Conservancy (5000 ha, a ± 17km bordering the Kruger National Park with the Crocodile river as divide), you are in BIG 5 territory and here are no fences that will separate you from the wild animals walking right up to the lodge. In the winter months the animals will even drink from the splash pools around the lodge.

Bush babies at night, many antelope species by day and watch the beautiful Purple Crested Louries eating the Papaya from the trees, next to the main dining area.

Take a 10 minute stroll to the lookout point high above the Crocodile river, where you are bound to see Lion and Elephant in the riverbed. There you will also enjoy some of the most spectacular sunsets in Africa.
