- Afternoon drives through the lodge’s private reserve reveal subtle details of desert life and the chance of sightings of zebra, oryx, and even the elusive brown hyena.
- For an elevated perspective on this awesome landscape, you can opt for a helicopter ride or a hot-air balloon flight. The airstrip is just a short drive away.
