Country Information

Our 'eco-friendly' lodge is small and exclusive with 16 beds, nestled in the shade of huge Acacia trees on the banks of the Malewa river. The rustic design of the lodge is most unusual and innovative using local methods and materials gathered from the surrounding area.

The result is a cluster of charming buildings constructed of mud, timber and thatch. Every effort has been made to be economical and innovative in the true ethos of eco tourism. The furnishings are also very unique. The beds, tables and chairs are constructed using the timbers from old fencing posts taken from the former cattle ranch. The ambiance has been calculated to bring the visitor close to nature; sounds of the African bush, birdsong and the flow of water over the pebbles in the nearby streambed are the essence of the stay.
