The six room, 12 bed lodge is situated in attractive teak and camelthorn woodland overlooking a series of waterholes along an inter-dune trough. Four elevated treehouses feature en-suite bathrooms, well-appointed on beautiful wooden decks with insulated canvas walls, sliding glass doors and windows, showcasing the ancient camelthorns in which they are perched.

Community Experience
this fascinating morning tour will visit the school and/or the homestead of a local elder and is often the unexpected highlight of a safari, with a welcome sealed with endless smiles and laughter. The Imvelo Mlevu Rhino Sanctuary – Imvelo partnered with the Mlevu community to set up a rhino sanctuary on their land. Our rhino are guarded 24/7 by the Cobras Community Wildlife Protection Unit. Visitors will be given an overview of the scope and vision of this award-winning and groundbreaking project, as well as an understanding of Imvelo’s broader community and conservation commitments, before heading out to find the rhinos themselves.

During the safari we'll lookout for wildlife including elephant, giraffe, buffalo, sable antelope, common duiker and a variety of bird species such as ostrich, brown snake eagle, lilac-breasted roller and swallow-tailed bee-eater. Our vehicles hold a maximum of 6 guests, so everyone has a "window" seat.

These will be taken by an experienced guide for a more intimate experience of the sounds and scents of the wild. The area is well suited for walks through the camelthorn forests to marvel at elephants.
