Treehouse Hide
The Treehouse Experience is booked in conjunction with accommodation at the lodge, and the cost is ZAR 3625 per person per night. Your room remains ready for your return at any point. You’ll pack a stay-over bag with the essentials, leaving the rest of your belongings safe back at the lodge. Your adventure will begin after dinner with a late night drive to the hide. You will be picked up again during the morning safari. This is a unique opportunity that will add an unforgettable experience to your safari as you look out for any nocturnal visitors to the waterhole or listen to the sounds of the African bush as you lay in bed.
The treehouse hide have been securely constructed above the ground, where the animals remain at a safe and comfortable distance. Your field guide will drive you to the treehouse hide and provide a full orientation, before departing. However, they will stay on call via two-way radio, should you need assistance, until the following day when you are collected in time for your morning safari.
The Wildlife
The treehouse hide can also be booked for a sleep-out far away from civilization for the more adventurous. A solar powered spotlight can be switched on for game viewing at night. Most animals drink during the daylight hours and we always advise visitors not to expect non-stop action during the night, but to rather enjoy the ambience of a night alone in wildest Africa under a beautiful dome of brightly lit stars. Any animals visiting must be seen as a bonus. Having said that guests sleeping at the hide have seen lions, leopard, elephants, rhinos and buffaloes as well as several antelope species.
Dinner
Guests will still enjoy dinner at the lodge will be taken by a 4×4 safari cruiser to the hide afterwards. Guests are welcome to take a bottle of wine etc with, and flasks with tree, coffee and hot chocolate are also provided.
