Traditions of a bygone era with colonial antiques, silver cutlery, and crystal glassware; create an aura of romance and nostalgia. Style and grace blend with the rugged natural beauty of the setting; as manicured lawns give way to Mopane thickets and wild animals walk down to drink at the waterhole; which forms the heart of this authentic safari lodge.
