"The bush at its best" describes this reserve that includes a watering hole popular with giraffes, wildebeests, and lions. Divide your time between four lodges: Selati is "like an English Colonial outpost," while Earth Lodge is contoured into the hillside, has sand and plants on its roof, and "is modern yet in tune with the surroundings." Join the "superior guides" at pan-African boma dinners.
