The rustic main area is housed under thatch and includes a comfortable lounge area with leather sofas arranged in different seating areas, a restaurand and a bar with glorious views over the desert landscape.

Be on the lookout to spot birds of prey, antelope, fairy circles, Welwitchia Mirabilis and many other interesting geological formations. Your guides will look for herds of free roaming desert adapted elephants and will do their best to meet up with these magnificent giants. The nature drive returns over valleys of savanna, small dunes, the dry riverbed and interesting geological formations. A stop at Welwitchia Hill allows you to get off the vehicle and enjoy a sundowner and enjoy the sun setting across the desert and distant mountains.
