We strongly believe that every guest staying at our lodge, be it on a safari or on a casual gateway, there must be ways to enhance that experience. It is common knowledge amongst safari folks that, accomodation on safari must be rustic and basic!, We think differently, an africa safari is to many a once in a lifetime experience and therefore accomodation facility forming part of the itinerary must offer a wholistic experience, from nature, activities, space, convenience and affordable luxury! Welcome to the Retreat, let us share with you our slice of paradise!
