Welcome drinks are served on arrival followed by a brief introduction to the staff and team after which you will be led to your luxury room to settle in.

Watch out for spectacular birdlife and smaller creatures such as the painted reed frogs that balance cautiously on the ends of the reed stalks. Game drives offer the chance to track the events from the nocturnal hunting the night before. Experience the Delta on foot, free from the constraints of roads and vehicles and see this wilderness through the eyes of your knowledgeable interpretive guide.

A delicious brunch awaits you on your return to camp after which one can indulge in a couple of hours resting or relaxing by your private plunge pool before you set off on your afternoon drive or boat safari.

Returning to camp in the late morning for brunch and a few hours rest in the heat of the day, before you set out again on your afternoon activity.

The area is characterised by mature mopane woodlands, seasonally flooded grasslands and palm islands where gigantic jackalberry, sausage and wild fig trees grow. Impala, lechwe, zebra, baboons, jackals and giraffe are common here, as are herds of elephant in the dry season. The area supports a large concentration of lechwe and buffalo, while roan and sable antelope roam the open woodlands. Cats follow the herds. The riverine forest is home to prolific birdlife, including the elusive Pel’s fishing owl, and fruit bats are attracted to the abundant fig trees.
