Surrounded by a high game fence, the 6,500 ha private reserve offers travellers the possibility of a rare sighting of cheetahs and leopards, as well as major antelope species and Burchell's and Hartmann's Mountain zebras. The greatest luxury is the tranquility of the natural surroundings and the sense of quiet that allows travellers to take stock of themselves, before setting out on safari, or returning from an adventure to the bustle of their day-to-day lives.
