It doesn’t get more romantic than the Love Nest!

In addition to river game such as hippo, crocs and fantastic bird life, the elephantpopulation here is fantastic.

Sundowners and dinner by the river, watching hippo come out to graze. Enjoy the night sky and fresh air as you dine!

Walking in this area, along the river, is a must! Armed guides interpret the bush underfoot. And coming in 2011, canoeing on the river!

Of course, make time to enjoy ½ day in the spa on the water’s edge.
