The lodge lies on the edge of the Southern Kalahari in the mixed tree and shrub Savanna.

The ranch is characterized by huge red sands dunes running parallel, and in a northwesterly to southeasterly direction.

The valleys in between the parallel dunes are commonly known as ‘streets’.

The design and decor, materials and furnishings, gardens and natural settings, all combine to ensure our guests live their dream of an African Safari.

A rambling old farmhouse was extensively altered, upgraded and renovated to not only serve as a residence, but also as the main nerve center of the Lodge.
