Features
Unlike most other safari lodges throughout East Africa, our main building does not have a traditional African thatched roof. It has instead a flat roof which we often use for a cocktail, sundowner, and private parties.
However, when you step down from these lofty heights into the sudden coolness of the reception lobby and move on, you will find stairs and ramps which either take you down to the dining room, with its outdoor terrace and simply delicious and sumptuous meals that are to die for, or across to the conference room before descending further to the ground floor.
Reception
Airy and spacious, the walls painted with rich earth colors reflecting the tones of the surrounding area.
Lobby
- Furnished with large comfortable chairs made out of driftwood, huge cushions, and colorful throw pillows.
- The low ceiling has wooden beams across and the pillars holding it are shaped like huge pots stacked together.
- Beautiful metallic wall lamps with soft lighting complete the overall, warm and intimate effect.
Dining
- An open dining area
- Spacious
- Lots of light emanating from the floor to ceiling windows
- The furniture is wrought iron chairs and wooden tops, all artistically done
- The walls are painted in a mud red color with a window like spaces holding artifacts found in the region
- Behind the buffet area is a shimmering blue placement, like a glass mosaic, adding on to the theme
The Bar is set in a corner with a view of the Serengeti plains, the bar area is strategically placed with an uninterrupted view, and has a terrace for seating with comfortable chairs.
