When the water levels gradually recede, water remains in major channels and river beds, in waterholes and in a number of larger lagoons, which then attract increasing numbers of animals.

The beautiful lodge consists of 7 spacious tented rooms that blend seamlessly with the natural setting. Each room has a comfortable bed, luxurious en suite bathroom and a private deck with plunge pool, overlooking the vast floodplains.
