PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:
- Our lodge is so much part of the Rufiji’s ebb and flow that it seems almost moored on the banks, with one side entirely open to the river. Views across its brown, swirling waters call to mind adventure movies from another time. Indeed, in the early days, we pioneered legendary foot safaris here, and we still make life in and around the lodge as action-packed and exciting as the fizzing natural world around it.
- Take a dip in the lodge pool and keep a sharp eye out for the colourful little kingfishers and bee eaters that dart around the banks of the river.
- Ask your guide to take you to the nearby hot springs for a quick dip in the warm waters.
