Evening safari at 4.00 pm with plenty of game including three Rhinos and then, in the middle of bush land, arrived at a clearing where they had set up dinner for all the guests. It was an incredible environment like fairyland under the stars, and a highlight of the trip. About 200 paraffin lanterns dimly lit the site, and the most magnificent three course meal will be an evening to remember for many years. There was even a complete bar set up - nothing was too much trouble. This lodge rocks!
It was a lucky night for us, because they only do this twice each month.

The morning's 6.00 am safari led us to a hyena den with two females and two cubs. They were much larger than we expected ( about 1 metre high ) and rather smelly. One of the cubs was being rejected by the mother, appeared very underweight, and the guide indicated to us that it may not survive.
