The lodge features 11 thatched bungalows, including four Heritage Bungalows, three Bush Suites, three Explorer Bungalows, and a private Honeymoon Bungalow.

The property’s unfenced layout allows wildlife to roam freely, enhancing the feeling of immersion in Namibia’s wilderness. For safety reasons, children under seven are not permitted, and those aged seven to eleven sharing with adults may join at a reduced rate; children under ten are not allowed on open safari drives.
