If you don’t like crowds and the noise that goes with it, this secluded lodge is the place to go. It is situated at the end of a private road,… read more so no other traffic or day visitors driving by. Only four chalets inside a safe, fenced yard with fantastic view from each chalet onto two water-holes. One can sit on your veranda and wait for the big 5 or other game and birds to stroll or fly by. The chalets are excellent with attention given to the finest detail. Going on a game-drive on an open game-view 4×4 on private routes that visitors may not travel on their own and listening to and learning from Günter, a registered guide and one owner, is a must! His wife Anita is co-owner and as a team they pay attention to the finest detail on the property. Guests are treated as VIPs and as the name indicates, a place of rest away from the rat race, (not only at night). More
