What's nearby

  • The Huntress The intense stare, concentration, and stealth approach of the huntress towards her prey is a vision to behold. In a pride of lions, the lioness is typically responsible for the hunting. Hunts are most often conducted in the evening, but hunger trumps any rules of the jungle. Early this morning, we spotted this female sauntering with purpose. A lone waterbuck was grazing at a nearby watering hole. The cat was honed in on this potential meal and silently moved into position without a sound. The water buck was oblivious to the hunter creeping ever so closely. We sat in our safari vehicle and observed the huntress close the gap of her prey to less than 30 yards. She crouched in the grass and we waited.

It was simply amazing - a beautiful place and the attention to detail in the accommodation is excellent - we just had a wonderful time and Raymond and the staff there are extremely friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble. We spent three nights there and would certainly go again. Thank you to everyone there for the experience.
