The lodge offers discerning guests a hideaway for those looking for an exclusive Chobe River experience. The area is renowned for its diverse and prolific wildlife, including the rare puku antelope. It is home to large herds of elephant, buffalo and hippo, as well as concentrations of other wildlife, including giraffe, sable, wild dog, lion and other predators, that come down to the rivers edge to drink, graze and hunt. This area is an untouched water wilderness sanctuary, ideal for quiet discovery, where game and bird life flourish undisturbed under the protection of the Chobe National Park.

Guests have a choice of boat excursions in small maneuverable boats, ideal for close up encounters with wildlife along the rivers edge or cultural village visits. Depending on the time of year, guests are also offered the opportunity to take canoe excursions along the river. Game viewing by boat as well as sunset cruises on the Chobe River. Nature walks and guided canoeing along the river as well as a cultural excursion to one of the surrounding local communities.
