the day.
Starlit evenings are enjoyed in the boma, where the pure spirit of Africa
is beckoned by the sounds of the Zulu drumbeat. The evening tones ring forth the
call of a nightjar, zebra in the distance, hippopotamus and the awesome roar of
the lion or trumpet of the elephant. This lodge is a must for nature lovers seeking
an intimate African safari experience that gets you close to the wilderness of Africa.
