The lodge is located in an ideal spot on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River. This river attracts a profusion of game – large herds of elephants, the elusive leopard, as well as species particular to the north like the gerenuk (a kind of deer), Beisa oryx, and the reticulated giraffe.

It is also home to many crocodiles, and our guests can enjoy the thrill of watching them crawl onto the banks to feed on food thrown by our staff.
