Stay with us
Chalets designed for comfort, nature, and peace
Our chalets blend understated luxury with thoughtful, eco-friendly design. Entirely solar powered, they invite you to slow down and live lightly on the land. Each chalet features one or two bedrooms, all equipped with passive air conditioning, while select rooms include ceiling and bed fans to keep you comfortable during warmer days. Natural materials, soft light, and sweeping views create a calm retreat where modern comfort meets the rhythm of the wild.
The Main House
Space to gather, relax, and feel at home
The main house is the heart of the lodge—generous, welcoming, and made for shared moments. It offers three spacious bedrooms, all fitted with passive air conditioning, plus a loft filled with several beds that youngsters will absolutely love. Two large, beautifully designed bathrooms add to the sense of ease and indulgence.
At its center is a soaring open-plan room that combines a full-scale kitchen and living area, framed by extra-large windows that bring the landscape right inside. Step outside to a pool that balances shade and sun, thoughtfully divided into a children’s pool and a 7-meter lap pool—perfect for both play and peaceful swims.
Restaurant & Lounge
Dining on the river’s edge
Set directly in front of the river, our open-air restaurant has no walls—only uninterrupted views and the sounds of nature. Hippos are frequent companions in the water below, and now and then an elephant may wander past, reminding you just how close the wild truly is.
The chef prepares each meal in his open kitchen within the restaurant, using fresh, seasonal ingredients. After dining, sink into our spacious sofas, let the river breeze wash over you, and on hotter days enjoy the gentle relief of our misting system, keeping you cool as the evening unfolds.
