​

-
There is a trestle table in the pantry to take on game drives.
-
6 camping chairs can be found in the study. Please return them to the study on departure.
Wildlife
-
Please DO NOT feed any of the animals. They learn fast and keep returning for food which may result in them becoming a nuisance and ultimately being terminated.
-
Watch out for the monkeys. They are sneaky and quick and will take every opportunity to enter the house and steal food left lying around.
-
Always bear in mind that you are in the bush. Snakes, scorpions, and other critters are around – so be on the lookout!
-
If you have left the bedroom doors open for the day, please do a quick check in your room (including your bed) to ensure no unwanted critters have come for a visit.
