Walking Trail
No better way to getting closer to nature on foot and discovering the secrets the bush has to offer such as makalani palms and oshanas (seasonal lakes). Savour that feeling of calmness and listen to the sounds of buzzing insects and chirping melodies of the birds and end your trail by sitting at the hide where the ostrich, giraffe and small & big antelope gather at the waterhole.
Come back and dive into the waters of the swimming pool or relax in the lounge with a good book while indulging in a fresh garden salad, sandwich and refreshing Namibian Rock-shandy.
