The journey

Journey overview

You'll watch as herds of elephants cross the river, giraffes come to drink, hippos bathe in their pods, and monkeys chatter through the trees. If you are lucky, you'll watch the cats on the river banks in search of prey. You'll take a dip in our refreshing pool overlooking the river and revive and soothe the soul. You'll soak in the views with a cold drink from the bar and enjoy as the many animals cross the river at sundown, in what can arguably be one of the best sunset spots in Africa.
