The main lodge features a comfortable lounge, bar, and semi-open-air dining room with breathtaking views of the waterhole. Start your day with delicious buffet breakfasts and lunches, typically served in the main building or on the lapa, while dinners are a special treat served under the starlit sky in one of the cozy bomas or in the lapa adjacent to the main lodge.
