After check-in, enjoy a refreshing welcome drink and a brief orientation about your upcoming safari adventures.

Glide quietly along the calm waters while watching for hippos, crocodiles, and the many waterbirds that frequent the riverbanks. Your experienced guide will share fascinating insights about the area’s ecosystem and wildlife. Return to the lodge to freshen up before gathering around the open fire for a delicious traditional dinner under the stars.
