Suites vary in size from 48 to 250sqm, the last with two en-suite bedrooms makes good  family accommodation.

Activities:  Day and night game drives are offered here (the night drives are in the private reserve). Guided walks are a good way to get up close and personal with nature too and learn about the 'little things'.  Horse riding is a popular pasttime. Village visits can be arranged to give you an insight into the local culture. Picnic lunches out in the bush ensure you can maximise your time here. Also you can take part in a 'pump run' spending the day visiting the 15 essential water pumps that Imvelo maintains, delivering fuel, oil and supplies to the pump attendants. Watch wildlife up close from an underground blind.
