When you return from safari, retreat to your private room to indulge in a bath or shower of solar heated hotwater. Relax with a book or computer on your private veranda. Explore village paths through the surrounding hills with your camera. Or relax on our Patio where you can order drinks and snacks and enjoy the birds flocking to the pools. In the evening, the fragrances of night blooming jasmine, frangipani, and fragrant datura fill the air as the night sky drops its canopy of stars to the horizon.
Our property is surrounded by high fencing and all buildings can be locked for security. Askaris (security guards) are available around the clock and keep vigil all night. Staff are available throughout the day and evening to meet the individual needs of our guests.
