Learn of the San people that call the Kalahari home, explore the bushveld on horseback, relax and enjoy a massage and barbeque under the starry night skies. When your hosts say “make yourself at home†they mean it and it’s easy to do since the meals are hearty and the atmosphere warm.
Not just the ideal stopover, between Maun heading to Namibia or into South Africa, but one of the only 'more-than-decent' options of accommodation in the area. Easily accessible and suitable for the whole family.
